Deformational Plagiocephaly. That is the technical term for my infant son Leroy’s flat spot. It is also the reason that he is now going to wear a helmet 23 hours a day, 7 days a week for the next 3 months. When I found out he would be needing a helmet for a flat spot, I sat down and did what I always do when faced with the unknown: I researched as much as I possibly could. While I found a lot of medical information, I wanted more personal stories. So now that my baby is comfortably in his helmet, I wanted to share our story, the information we have learned so far, and answer some of the questions I had before we got the helmet.
