When Reggie was born we noticed he had an odd shaped head which we mentioned to doctors and health visitors and was always told it will mould itself into a normal and it is a common thing. However it didn‘t get better and after some research we believed he had a condition called plagiocephaly and possibly brachycephaly so booked him in to a private clinic for advice and treatment advice (as treatment isn‘t offered on the NHS). We got a diagnosis of severe plagiocephaly and brachycephaly on the left side of his head. Treatment for this will be a timband helmet which he will have to wear 23 hours a day for 4 months and will cost us £2050. We would be so grateful if people would help us as much or as little as they can so we can help our baby boy.

plagiocephaly – the head is flattened on 1 side, causing it to look asymmetrical; the ears may be misaligned and the head looks like a parallelogram when seen from above, and sometimes the forehead and face may bulge a little on the flat side

brachycephaly – the back of the head becomes flattened, causing the head to widen, and occasionally the forehead bulges out
