Has anyone had any experiences with helmets used to treat flat spots? We are facing this with DS and I'm in tears just thinking about it. Just hoping someone can shed some light about it and how they coped with it?

He has had a flat spot since 4 months old. We've been giving him heaps of tummy time, sitting him up, tried sleep postioner things and a physio but at 6.5 months it doesn't look like its improving. Our paed today referred us to an orthotic clinic to get measured for a helmet.

Can anyone help, I'm scared its going to be traumatic for him but at the same time I want to fix it
