Your baby will be fit with the orthosis within two weeks of the casting or scanning date. During the first week you will monitor the baby’s skin, and within about 5 days your baby will progess to wearing the orthosis 23 hours a day. About a week later, you will see your practitioner for a check of the fit and to address any questions you may have. After that, visits are usually scheduled every 2-3 weeks depending on how fast your baby is growing, and the need for foam removal in the areas of flattening. At each appointment the orthotist will check the fit and function of the orthosis, document changes in the head shape, and make any adjustments necessary to direct growth into the flattened areas. Depending on your baby’s age, unique head shape, and response to the orthosis, your follow up appointments may be scheduled more or less frequently than those stated above. You are encouraged to contact your practitioner immediately if you have concerns about the fit, skin problems, or feel that your baby needs an adjustment before the next scheduled appointment.
