Nothing like being neurotic...

in Babies: 6 - 9 Months

Ugh.  So last night I was waiting for a prescription to be filled at Walmart (double ugh--my doctor called it into the Walmart pharmacy without asking me WHERE i would like to pick it up)...anyways...ahem...a woman who worked at Walmart came up to me and commented on my DD2's eyes--which, how can I blame her, they ARE gorgeous Wink ...but then she started talking about how HER daughter sees an ophthalmologist because the whites of her eyes are a bit blue.  She then tells me that she noticed MY daughter's eyes because her whites are a bit blue too.  And THEN she told me that it was a genetic defect.  Angry

Argh...I was just like..."Uhhhh?"....sooo, of course, when I got home, I needed to check Dr. Google to see what the heck she was talking about.  And now I am completely paranoid.  So...here is a pic of my DD2's eyes.  Do the whites look blue to you?!

    You're a loon.

    Seriously, though, ask your pedi when you see him/her next, but don't fret too much. My pedi checks DD's eyes at every visit, I'm sure if your pedi was worried s/he would have said something.

    If it helps, DS had very blue eyes as a baby and the whites of his eyes looked a little blue, but he grew out of it.

    Breathe, mama. Smile

    This is a test. This is only a test.

    Sounds like she was projecting her issues onto your adorable LO.

    Her eyes are beautiful and do not look blue in the whites of the eyes. :-)

    I've never felt so good being called names before.  Yes

    Glad to be a loon today.

    Ugh.  I'm just mad that she said that to me.

    I noticed that DS's eyes are like that, too. Like the blue "leaked" into the white.  The pedi never mentioned it.  What did Dr. Google say? I can't imagine it's a problem.

    It said that it could be completely normal--just a thinner "sclera" than normal eyes...or it could be a sign of brittle bone disease (or a few other various connective tissue disorders)...which, I would think, would have been caught by now if that was the case?  Dr. Google is always scary. 

    I'm going to ask my pediatrician at her 9 month well-baby check.
