It isn’t uncommon to see babies wearing helmets during the first six months of their life. Known as helmet therapy, these specialized helmets aren’t simply for protecting your baby’s fragile head. It helps the malleable skull form properly in a round shape and prevents deformities.<\/p>\n
When babies are born, their skulls are soft. This allows them to travel through the birth canal easily. These bones will form and harden over time.<\/p>\n
Two common conditions require babies to wear helmets. These are known as Plagiocephaly and Craniosynostosis.<\/p>\n
