OT: Winged design on cranial band for babies
Thought the board might enjoy this.
The bands are to correct plagiocephaly (nothing serious, just helps correctly shape the head as it grows, they are only in them for 2-4 motnhs).
When our daughter who is now 3 needed one as a baby, I kept bugging my wife to let me put the winged design on it. To shut me up she promised if we had a boy that needed one I could put it on his. Little did she know we were going to have twin boys that both needed the bands.

You could sell those. Well done.

Do they come in adult sizes? A helmet for me is probably a good idea once I start pulling off the Whistle Pig.

Right back at ya, this is my son Alex almost 8 years ago.
January 11th, 2017 at 10:59 AM ^
Nice work!
January 11th, 2017 at 11:00 AM ^
That's an adorable kid. The thick layer of ice and coal around my heart just cracked a little...
January 11th, 2017 at 11:16 AM ^
just one is adorable? lol
January 11th, 2017 at 11:53 AM ^
Only one is adorable, and the other one ... let's be honest. Pretty meh in comparison. And I think we can all see who the cute one is. And maybe more importantly, I think the twins know too.
(Good going on the helmet/bands, OP. When faced with the prospect of doing this for my oldest - who grew out of the issue - I asked the pediatrician if this was a possibility and he was on board. My Spartan wife, not so much.)
January 11th, 2017 at 12:13 PM ^
Honestly, I thought it was all the same kid. I'm old enough now that all kids look exactly alike to me - they all look like old men...
January 11th, 2017 at 12:17 PM ^
The one in blue really does look like an old grumpy jewish man when he's not smiling
January 11th, 2017 at 4:04 PM ^
You did name them Maize and Blue...right...I mean it isn't anything else...
January 11th, 2017 at 11:45 AM ^
Sounds sorta like what happened to the Grinch.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:01 AM ^
Glad to hear this isn't a serious problem. Kids can be scary little dudes!
BTW, did you name them Denard and Wilton? If not, why not?!?!?
January 11th, 2017 at 11:06 AM ^
Also the one named Denard should have dreads attached to his cranial band
January 11th, 2017 at 11:15 AM ^
I wish, while a Michigan alum also my wife is not a huge sports fan.
Dreads would be bad ass.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:16 AM ^
January 11th, 2017 at 11:17 AM ^
similar story with our daughter. But my wife is on top of this stuff so we went around our pediatrician to the specialist pretty early on. After that we switched pediatricians.
January 11th, 2017 at 12:44 PM ^
we probably should have questioned things sooner - but we trusted our PCP to give us good advice.
I also admittedly wasn't as adept at the Googles back in 2008.
January 11th, 2017 at 12:59 PM ^
and there are all these mommy blogs and facebook groups now. it's almost too easy to get all kinds of info, overthink everything now
January 11th, 2017 at 11:00 AM ^
Attacking the bottle with an enthusiasm unknown to mankind.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:09 AM ^
Breast*
January 11th, 2017 at 11:56 AM ^
Either way. My kids both got teeth at about 3-4 months, so we spent way more time with bottles than breastfeeding directly.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:58 AM ^
woah that's early, we got a combination going, twins are bit too much to exclusively nurse
January 11th, 2017 at 11:02 AM ^
You win the board for the day. A+++
January 11th, 2017 at 11:10 AM ^
I love the stickers, nice touch
January 11th, 2017 at 11:46 AM ^
Rolled over on his own: helmet sticker
Made a cute baby noise: helmet sticker
Slept through the night: all of the helmet stickers
January 11th, 2017 at 1:32 PM ^
I was wondering what the Helmet Stickers would be for. Definitely not filled diapers as the helmet would fill up quickly (with stickers).
January 11th, 2017 at 11:15 AM ^
Nice work!
January 11th, 2017 at 11:15 AM ^
Very nice work!
January 11th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
That's fucking spectacular.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
Who's going to be the first jackass to complain about stickers on the helmet!?!
January 11th, 2017 at 11:43 AM ^
Just wanna make sure they were earned. Do they get them for the first time they roll over or sleep through the night?
January 11th, 2017 at 11:59 AM ^
Won't be enough room for all the awesome accomplishments expected.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:59 AM ^
ha, I wish it was for sleeping through the night, more like a 6 hour stretch
January 11th, 2017 at 12:04 PM ^
If my kid (5 months) slept for 6 hours, I would either throw a party or take him to the ER.
January 11th, 2017 at 12:05 PM ^
6 hours is 'through the night'. they're doing great.
January 11th, 2017 at 1:41 PM ^
Yes, six hours is a luxury for a lot of parents.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:34 AM ^
I believe that all babies at Mott's get winged designs for their helmets. Or at least the option?
January 11th, 2017 at 11:52 AM ^
that's cool!
January 11th, 2017 at 11:37 AM ^
January 11th, 2017 at 1:20 PM ^
buy something, someone will sell it to her whether it is needed or not. Doctors tend to push all kinds of unecessary crap like that, especially when they get that referral kick-back.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:41 AM ^
What great little Michigan fans! Hope to sign this two to play for Harbaugh in the class of 2035! (taking a dig at the loser who made that last post that was deleted smh)
January 11th, 2017 at 11:42 AM ^
January 11th, 2017 at 11:42 AM ^
Great pics!
January 11th, 2017 at 11:50 AM ^
January 11th, 2017 at 12:00 PM ^
they'd have way more than 2 stickers if that was the case
January 11th, 2017 at 12:00 PM ^
blowouts might cause them to LOSE helmet stickers.
January 11th, 2017 at 11:44 AM ^
My now 12 year old hurt her arm and needed a sling when she was 5. When the nurse pulled out the sling with the huge block M on it, she instantly got a huge grin and couldn't wait to show it off to her friends at school. She still has that sling!
Thanks for giving me a great smile today!
