Baby boy's left eye has a clogged tear duct. it's pretty bad. he doesn't seem to be in pain but it looks kinda gross lol. I've been applying warm compresses, gently wiping away the gook, and circular tear duct massages, and nothing seemed to be working.
I put a drop or two of breast milk straight from the boobie in his eye because I read online it will help prevent infection, and low and behold, it's clearing up. sounds like it the breast milk would bother his eye, but it didnt, it seemed to not even phase him. less gook, tears are starting to flow out when he cries a little, and his eye doesn't look as swollen from us wiping away the stuff after just two times applying it (last night and this morning)
boob juice is some amazing stuff!

“You look too young to be a mom!”
Or how about …
“You have a BABY? No! You look like a baby yourself!”👶
Oh wait, here’s a good one …
“Are you the nanny, ooor … ?”
“No, yeah I’m his mom,” I’d reply. “Yes, I am young,” I’d agree.
Considering I got pregnant straight out of college, I was certainly on the younger end of the parenting spectrum. (No one was more surprised than me, I assure you.) And yet, I wasn’t exactly a teen mom. I wasn’t juggling school courses and motherhood, like so many s...

I called the midwife at my hospital and told her I lost it and was having really bad cramping and she told me I was fine and was prob just having BH contractions.
The next day I was having what I thought were strong BH contractions every 10-...

TRIGGER WARNING
This is very personal but extremely important. Especially with all this car seat stuff going on.
Last Saturday, yes 3 days before Christmas there was a terrible car accident. A woman crossed into oncoming traffic on a highway and hit another car head on then slammed into the guard wall. Why is this important? Why does it matter? Who was this woman? This woman was the mother of my two nephews. This woman had the most precious cargo in her back seat. She had my nephews who are 6 a...
