The Milky Way Cure-all
Ezra went to the pediatrician on Friday. He’s gained more weight - he’s more than 8lbs now. The Dr. told me that his goopy eye was an entirely normal newborn affliction, caused by immature tear ducts getting clogged up, and that made me feel better. The Dr. also told me that a little breast milk in the eye has been known to help resolve the goopy eye. So this morning, after Ezra finished feeding, I looked down at his little goopy eye, and with a quick flick of my boob, landed a drop of milk in the goopy eye. Ezra just looked at me and blinked a couple times, then went back to falling asleep.
I just looked, and Ezra’s eye is now goop-free! We’ll see what it looks like tomorrow, but this just could be further proof that breast milk IS best for babies!
PS - I was sort of afraid to take this first blogging step - hence the fact that all the other posts have been by Ezra’s dad. But this wasn’t so bad, so maybe I will be able to do this more often!
