So my daughter was born with brain damage , because her umbilical cord was tightly wrapped around her neck and she was deprived of oxygen for 3 minutes . She's over 4 months old now and the doctors , along with early interventions , all say that she's developing excellently . They said you can't even tell that she has brain damage , she does everything normal . However , whenever she gets hurt she doesn't really cry . Like , you know when you have those moments when you accidentally bang the baby's head on stuff when you're carrying them lol . Stuff like that , she doesn't even cry . Just now , her dad had her sitting up against a pillow and she fell forward and hit her face on a controller on the bed . Like we HEARD her hit it , it was pretty hard . But she didn't cry at all , just acted like nothing happened . Did we just get lucky with a tough baby , or can this be part of her brain damage ?
