What is cranial remoulding?
A lightweight, plastic and foam helmet is made from a 3-D scan of your infant’s head. The foam lining is made with a growth area which allows improvement in head shape and over time, this is modified to allow for continued improvement. The helmet allows your baby to sleep in any position he/she wants yet keeps pressure off the flat spots and allows growth to bring about correction. Correction usually starts after 2 or 3 weeks and we’d expect an infant between 4 and 7 months of age to need to wear the helmet for about 12 weeks. For older infants a longer treatment time is necessary.
