Can you donate for my friends baby?

D.P. said:
If it is not available on the NHS then I assume there is not only little evidence that it helps but possibly some risk of adverse effects.

The cost itself wouldn't be an issue for the NHS, that kind of thing is dirt cheap compared to open heart surgery organ transplants and cancer treatment.

I've not heard of any problems with helmets, just lack of efficacy being the main reason they're not used, plus most funny shaped heads sort themselves out in the first few years of life (plus your hair covers more as you get older).

The NHS is not adverse to spending money on dubious interventions on kids, so to not support this suggests just how dubious it is.

this barbaric practice should be outlawed world wide
 
in the future he will never have to worry about having his hair cut short, wearing sunshades or miss fitting headwear :)

If he's that worried, avoid all of the above

enough to make him feel the same as other children as he grows up avoiding any embarrassment in the future.

GOD FORBID.

And we want to help Layton achieve a normal life and not stop him from being able to wear a bicycle helmet or wear wonky sun glasses

Right, lets get this straight:

This is purely cosmetic, and a begging effort, sorry won't be donating
 
most people don't have perfectly formed heads anyway

I've got a big bump in my skull at the back and just above it feels like it was hit with a hammer.
when I say big I mean to my fingers it feels big it's probably not noticeable unless I have a bold head.

most people don't have symmetrical faces either and it didn't stop some people getting stupidly famous.

what is next my baby was born ugly lets raise money for plastic surgery.
most people would be glad to have a pretty normal healthy baby and not bother if there head is slightly misshapen.

a lot of babies come out with odd shaped heads anyway where the forceps have grabbed them , most recover back to normal but not all do
 
Most kids have this to some degree anyway since an infants head is very soft and constantly growing, its caused by sleeping on the same side, they usually always grow out of it, my daughter had a very significant flat spot on the left side of her head, 9 months later it was gone. Like Layton's (Lol) will i'm sure.
 
I think it says more about the parent's vanity than any serious concern for the child (my baby isn't perfect! :rolleyes:)

No NHS doctor will suggest a helmet to correct a misshapen head, they will tell you as the child begins to grow the head will take on a 'normal' shape.

I've seen children in them and they look ridiculous to be honest.
