Mothers made them out of horse hair and layers of cotton. As mothers we have always known how dangerous traumatic falls can be. The problem is we never know when that is going to happen. It is only common sense to protect the most vulnerable area of a child's body. Once the shell breaks, it goes into the brain and those cells can die causing early learning problem. I personally will forgo a night out to the movies that will pay for this helmet.

U....You are right to cringe when he hits his head. U.S. doctors are saying that alot of early childhood learning problems stem from these falls. The shell that covers their brains is as thick as a fingernail. When it breaks it can damage certain areas of the brain and cause many problems later on. Go to www.babynobumps.com as they have the best helmets and they were the first to create this protection.

Knocked his forehead once and had this lebam that lasted for days. Boys will be boys.<br /><br />Cris: Connor tried to climb up his toy abacus. Sigh. I have no idea how more to protect him... esp living in the tropics with the hard floors and no wall-to-wall carpeting. Maybe I'm overdoing it but I can't bear to hear the sound of his head thunking again.Mrs Top Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10748775581211289207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346950212325798364.post-57703364502535051892009-06-13T09:31:55.157-07:002009-06-13T09:31:55.157-07:00That's the first time I hear about a baby helm...That's the first time I hear about a baby helmet! Good idea! But I also read, that they don't get seriously damaged on their brains. Their bones are still very soft and it's supposed to be like that to absorb the bump. My nephew had several falls like your little Connor... my sister could not understand how he could fall even through a wall of pillows! My son had also a couple of scary falls. The problem is that they'll use it right now but actually they won't need it so much until they start to walk and climb the sofa and chairs. Then your little boy turns in one of the cirque de soleil members and he'll climb anywhere. But they usually refuse to have anything on their heads. I'm now able (finally after so many months!) to put a cap on his head when we're outside. For many months I had to give up and just put so much sun lotion as I could in his head... <br /><br />I'll double check in the internet to read a bit more about that helmet!<br /><br />He looks soooo cute!Crishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13402201103649052261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346950212325798364.post-39850030330870198522009-06-07T19:24:48.626-07:002009-06-07T19:24:48.626-07:00btw anon was me :Pbtw anon was me :PPBnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346950212325798364.post-54022111539406598352009-06-07T19:24:30.558-07:002009-06-07T19:24:30.558-07:00*giggles* He looks so cute!
