    This is a very relevant issue deserving a national magnifying glass. It is not simply cosmetic, it's a matter of the health and welfare of the next generation.

    Both of my children are affected by torticollis and plagiocephaly due to crowding in utero. My son has an evaluation for a helmet this week. This is such an important issue!

    My almost 5month old daughter is suffering from this, and my pediatrician will not help me get a helmet because she is on medicaid. All insurance should cover this!

    My son is 19 with plagiocephaly. He was born in 1994 with torticollis in when the back to sleep program was in full force. We were not told about the cranial helmet when we expressed a concern to our pediatrician about our sons head flattening on the back at the age of 3 months. We were told he would grow out of it and later found in his records that the doctors discussed the helmet amongst themselves and decided it was not necessary since the condition was cosmetic and would be covered by hair when he got older. My son has struggled growing up with skull and facial deformities and still struggles as a college student.

    Please make doctors more aware of this also...My neice brought this attention to her pediatrician when baby was 2 months old and was told "we'll keep an eye on it" - well now he's 5 months old and NOW he is being fitted for a helmut...
