For a DOC band on Tuesday, July 8, 2008. this was his second head casting.
This was a medical fitting procedure for his DOC band so his head would form into a proper shape to avoid potentially serious jaw problems and other issues.

He used the band for about 9 months or so, and his head is in much better shape, as the flat spot (due to the "back to sleep" concepts as well as in-utero positioning) is barely noticable.

  • To those of you who are confused: The cast is a mold for a DOC band. A DOC band is a headband used to reform the shape of the baby's head, which has become misshapen for one reason or another, the most common being simple birth defects. Most of the time they are not life threatening and can be treated long before they begin to affect quality of life.

  • Wow your Baby was great for this! Our daughter was screaming bloody murder! She got herself so worked up she got a nosebleed! We just graduated the other day! (She did have two bands) Good Luck!

  • Awwwwww I'm sad now ?  It looks like a mummy !!!! Poor thing !!!

  • watching this video brought tears to my eyes. cute little chubby baby is so strong. did not even cry or whined. i hope everything gets better. and if it did i am really happy.

  • @bassman1993 No need for name calling or being rude, some people just don't understand what they are seeing. I know I wouldn't if we had not gone through the process.

    The good news is it worked fantastically and now his head is very close to normally shaped. This means he likely won't have some of the issues that we were worried about. (neck and jaw problems mostly)

  • Your baby was awesomely good. My baby was screaming the whole time. She's ok with it now though.

  • What happened to the baby?

  • what is this head casting.....i m quite confused..can u plz explain?

  • omg i we have an appt on Monday, i'm gonna be crying during this process!!!!!!! :(
