Flat spots on babies' heads are more common than you may think. The key to correction is timing: repositioning and tummy time early on, talking to your pediatrician, and getting a preliminary scan can make all the difference -- and if a helmet becomes part of the journey, know that treatment is gentle, safe, and incredibly effective!

We came across an article in People Magazine today that we just HAD to share!

For many families, the holidays bring the usual mix of joy, chaos, and photo ops. But when your baby is wearing a cranial remolding helmet, it can feel like you’ve joined a very different kind of holiday club. You’re fielding questions from relatives, dodging comments from strangers, and trying ...

It can be true that mild flat spots are able to round out on their own, but for moderate or severe flattening, a helmet can make a world of difference. Every baby is different -- helmets can be optional for mild cases, but can be a game-changer for bigger flat areas. No matter what, you’re a great parent for exploring the options! 💕

🍼 "I wish we had started sooner..."

That's what we hear from parents every single week at our clinic.

If you've noticed a flat spot on your baby's head, you're not alone - and you didn't do anything wrong. Plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) affects thousands of babies, but here's what many parents don't realize: timing is everything.

The difference between starting treatment at 4 months vs. 8 months can be life-changing for your little one. We're not just talking about appearance - untreated flat head syndrome can affect jaw alignment, ear position, and even developmental milestones.

💙 The good news? When caught early, helmet therapy is incredibly effective. Most babies adapt within days, and treatment typically takes just a few months.

Don't wait and see. Every month matters for your baby's developing skull.

The news often arrives during an ordinary pediatric visit. A doctor gently points out a flat spot or an asymmetry on the baby’s head. The word comes next: plagiocephaly. For many parents, it lands like a heavy stone. What seemed like a perfectly normal milestone appointment suddenly shifts into wo...

Happy Halloween to all the ghouls and goblins 🎃 👻 🕷️

Babies’ heads grow so fast in the first year! That’s why doctors say the best time for helmet therapy is around 4–6 months. At this age, a baby’s skull is soft and rapidly growing, perfect for gently reshaping. Starting early means shorter treatment and amazing results. It’s all about catching that window when their little head is growing like a wildflower🌼
