Disappearing eyelid trick!

Since Wednesday my LO's right eyelid has been coming and going, but mostly going!  It's like the skin above is sagging down to cover her eyelid.  I had been out with her in the Baby Bjorn and she had her right side smooshed against my wool hoodie for a few hours, so I thought it might be bloat or an allergic reaction, but two days later it's still the same.  It doesn't seem to bother her and I don't know if I should go to the doctor or not if it's just cosmetic.  I know there are people with worse problems but I miss her cute symmetrical eyes!  Any ideas on possible causes?

  • I might mention it at her two month appt if it doesn't get better. It probably one of those things you notice far more than anyone else.

  • It looks swollen a little, maybe just from pressure when she was sleeping.  I wouldnt worry about it too much, but if you notice it getting worse or seeming tender, just call in and ask. 

    Just for the record, I would never notice that if I saw her in person, she has very cute eyes! They look happy, if that makes sense!
