Does this open the door to babies with designer-shaped skulls? Because that would be awesome. Why have a boring round-headed baby when it could have Lisa Simpson spikes? Or a cone?
The ancient Mayans used to do this, only they made the infant's forehead more flat by wrapping board against it. The whole thing reminds me of Chinese bound-feet, whether they know it or not.
Our pediatrician actually told us that those helmets are statistically useless. As in, the babies head is just as likely to even out on it's on, as with the helmet.
Yes, it may be expensive. It is low-risk. If one would put their adolescent child through braces, then this certainly makes sense and is certainly less painful. It is not necessary for life, it may not even be necessary in that it may correct itself, but if given the choice between cost and invconvenience and a Dan Akroyd Conehead look-alike (and some of these cases are severely deformed), I'll go for the prosthesis.

...and we're one step closer to making every kid wear a helmet his or her entire life.
It's only a matter of time before somebody opens a Baby ABATE chapter.
