Kate on helmet


Day 2 with the helmet: She's now slowly getting used to wearing her helmet. At times she plays with it, treating it as a basket for her toys. I tried painting it with acrylic today to make a ladybug design, but it seems the paint can't adhere to the material. So now we'll probably find some stickers we could design it with rather than using paint.

Dear Chris Inton and Kat Casapao,

I am Le Thi Thuy Nga, from Vietnam. I came across your website while I am trying to find on Internet some ways to correct my son's severe plagiocephaly. However, it seems the treatment is not available outside USA and Europe. It would be very kind of you to share with me your experience in treating plagiocephaly for your lovely Kate and where and how do you get the helmet? My son is now 8 months and I am trying to do whatever possible to correct his deformity. Actually, I am very sad about his plagiocephaly as it happened to him due to my lack of knowledge about the syndrome. My 2 emails are lethithuynga@yahoo.com and lttnga.fad@vietnamair.com.vn.
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Le Thi Thuy Nga

Dear Kat and Chris,
I'm a mum of a 6-month old baby, also named Kate (!), who has been just diagnosed with torticollis and plagiocephaly. We are giving her regular physio to correct the torticollis, but I like to find out about options available for the plagiocephaly. Did the helmet work eventually, and where did you get it fitted i Singapore?
You can email me at li_anne_wong@hotmail.com.
Any leads/advice would be most welcome.
Thanks,
Li Anne
