Helmet photos

Before Joel got his helmet, I was really curious about what they looked like, how the kids act in them, etc. Since lots of twin mamas have babies in helmets during the first year, I thought maybe we could all share our helmet photos!

Neither of mine have helmets but I just wanted to say your ds looks like he is doing just fine in his-so sweet! You got some great pics!

 

He looks great! I'll share pictures of Annelise in hers after she gets it in August. I think this should be part of the FY handbook along with the reflux, eczema, etc. info. We could all compile our stories, photos, and updates. What do you think?

 

Joel is very handsome in his new hat!!! Thank you so much for posting the pics, please pm me with your helmet story if you have the time. Chase gets his on the 14th... How do you feel about one of your boys having the helmet and the other not wearing one? I’ve had mixed feelings about this whole process. Is this a Starband or a Docband?

Continued success – great job!!!

 

So cute. My DD may possibly need helmet, we have an appt with pedi neuro in a few weeks. Glad to know there are others out there to share stories!

p.s. what kind of camera do you have? Your pictures are gorgeous.

 

Gorgeous pictures--what a cutie! I think one of mine is going to need a helmet. He's just 4 mo old now; but he has a pretty bad flat spot (big brother sat on him in utero and his poor head was right against my hipbone--then he got stuck on the way out which didn't help). The ped wants to watch and wait a little longer; but I haven't seen any improvement yet. I think this is a great idea--to post pics and stories. This whole thing has been stressing me out because none of my singleton parent friends have had to deal with this; and they all keep saying things like "just hold him more", etc. Well, sometimes I have to put him down because his brother needs me too.

Anyway, I'm so glad I found this forum. It's sooooo nice to be able to communicate with lots of other twin moms.

Your little guy looks great!!!

 

Great pictures. I was away for a bit so curious as to why he needs it. How does he have to wear it? Does he wear it 24/7? How does he handle it? Does he try try to take it off or get fussy b/c of it? Hope you don't mind the questions, just very curious.

awww!!! He is super cute!

 

Here is my DS with his sis. We decorated it with Penn State stickers and painted on some Nittany Lion Paw prints.

My younger sister had both her girls in helmets as infants (they are now 5 and almost 3 years), and it was such a stressful thing for her and her husband. (Her girls never seemed to mind it!) They worried about the stares and comments they got as they are both very quiet, meek sort of people. It was difficult for them. . . I wish they got to see these beautiful babies' photos back then for encouragement!

Oh my goodness!!! Ethan and Emma are so darling. I love her pink glasses! I wore glasses as a child, and they didn't have such cute ones back then. Ethan's hair sticking out the front of his helmet gives him a sort of rakish look I think. So cute!!!

 

All your kids are so cute guys! Chloe's flat spot is getting worse, so we are in the process of seeing if she needs any intervention. I'll keep you posted, Lisa

 

Everyone's kiddos are so cute!!!

What causes a flat spot?

Your kiddos are all adorable!!! And you all should pat yourselves on the back for a job well done. Keep the pictures coming and I hope they all progress and get out of those helmets quickly!
