Today, her umbilical cord fell off and we are happy because it just did not look like it was fun to have that attached. Now I wonder if she is going to have an inny or an outie. It is so hard to tell.
Poor Tia has the same ritual after feeding. She does two sneezes and then she has the hiccups that last about 20 minutes. Boy does she hate them because she makes these cute sounds. Chris calls the sounds the Velociraptor because she makes clicking and uh-ing noises. We feel so bad for her.
She also has a clogged tear duct in her left eye. She gets eye boogies all the time and although we clean them out, it seems like a constant problem. I hope that goes away, although I've heard it is a common thing among new babies.
She is perfect otherwise and is doing great. She's doing better at sleeping at night but she needs to be held to fall asleep. She can sure tell when she is not getting the human contact. She's so spoiled!
Parker had clogged ducts as well. We would take our pinky and rub/massage from the inside corner of his eye down along his nose. Our dr also gave us drops to help as well. Good luck : )
ReplyDeleteVery common... My friend's baby had the same thing.
