At the start, you’re a little bit self-conscious; I got over it, and I don’t let things like that bother me.
I was emotional when we got told, but everything was ok and for the greater good, long term, the right decision. It has already improved over such a short period."

"My husband was going to leave it due to the previous medical advice we received, but when he saw the scan results, we didn’t question the decision of getting a helmet at all. Everything is ok; the helmet doesn’t affect everyday life for him or us."

"At the start, it was difficult, just getting used to taking the helmet on and off. Not quite knowing how much to squeeze over his head, but it didn’t bother him; no scratches, no bruises. "

"We had our helmet in the summer."

"I was a bit worried about overheating. It can be up to 45 degree’s in the middle of summer, but she was fine. I changed the liner every day, and it was just easy."

"It might sound vain, but I wanted a Serkel helmet because of how they look. The helmet looked nice compared to other chunky helmets I looked at online. The helmet is light; it’s easy; Ally didn’t know she had it on."

"You have this beautiful new baby to show off to the world, and you want them to look good."

"The look of the Serkel helmet absolutely lessens the embarrassment, looked nice and helped me make the decisions; it helped us a lot."

"We’ll always keep the helmet to show Ally when she’s old that she wore it when she was a baby."

The recommended time to start helmet therapy is between 4 to 6 months. Starting at that age allows enough time for the helmet to resharpen the head into a round and beautiful shape.

A flattening of the skull can occur if your baby has a tendency to sleep in one position each night, therefore applying pressure to the same area of their head. As the flattened area develops, your baby may then become even more accustomed to that particular position, enhancing the flattening further. Or, their head may naturally roll into that position.

Brachycephaly, derived from the Greek language, is a condition in babies were the back of the head becomes flattened, causing the head to widen, and occasionally the forehead bulges out.
