Warping heads of babies

Allison got her DOC-band off yesterday!! Here are the before and after pics. One of the problems the band addressed was the width of Allison's head. Her head used to be a lot wider than it was long. In the first picture, you can see that now her head looks lengthened.

Also, the band corrected some flattening and assymetry at the back of her head. The second set of pictures show how much rounder the back is.

And finally, you'll notice in the last set of pictures that her head looked "flat" and the sides of her forehead looked pushed out, which is called brachyocephaly. You can definitely see the overall change in her head shape and especially how different her forehead looks. Amazing!
