Our daughter, Emilia, was diagnosed with Brachycephaly at 4 months old. When she turned 5 months old we chose to go ahead with the option of a head band. This was a tough decision we made as a family but after a lot of research and repositioning techniques we knew in our gut that this is the best choice for her. This is our journey, and more importantly, Emilia’s journey adjusting to life with a head band (helmet).

Why blog about it? We decided to blog about it because when we found out she had brachycephaly there weren’t many personal blogs or stories about it that we could relate to or if there were, they were from quite a few years ago and didn’t really show the journey rather just before and after pictures. We were overwhelmed and thought if we are feeling this way then possibly other mums and dads may feel the same way too. Maybe they could read this blog and follow our journey to see that it is ok, it will be fine and yes there are a few bumps along the way but then again, what is life without a few bumpy roads?
Im a Mum too.
I can only imagine your pain and what is must take out of you and your husband to make decisions.
I send a hug and heartfelt wishes to your precious family.
