I brush hers e dry morning when I brush mine. DH is supposed to brush them at night during her bath but he more often than not forgets so I'll have to start doing it after her bath. I'm terrified of her having cavities! </p> <p>Are you super serious about teeth brushing? When/how often do you brush their teeth? Do you use training toothpaste? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-503407 Mon, 14 Jan 2013 14:09:31 +0000 soccermomma 503407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! It's starting to clear up (I've been using a warm washcloth on it a few times a day) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501888 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:09:43 +0000 T-Mom 501888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both my kids had this and we used a cotton ball with warm water to wipe gently every day as suggested by the pedi and it cleared up on its own in a few weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501887 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 16:09:12 +0000 soccermomma 501887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks @futuremrsmck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501847 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:30:20 +0000 pelikila 501847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Massage a few times a day with a warm compress. Also, if you have it, squirt a little breastmilk into the eye for a few days. It works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501822 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 15:01:25 +0000 lovehoneybee 501822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We were told to massage the duct and wipe his eye down with a clean wet washcloth several times a day. It went away on it's own a week or so after we started massaging it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501792 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:34:43 +0000 rachiecakes 501792@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I called our doctor and he said to use a warm washcloth a few times a day. I read online that you can use a few drops of breastmilk. I tried that and it worked immediately! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501789 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:33:32 +0000 Andrea 501789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@soccermomma: the dr's first instructions were to boil water, cool it down, and then wet a cotton ball in it to wipe the gunk away. then use your finger to massage the inner corner of the eye. but that wasn't working so she prescribed the drops. </p> <p>since your LO has a cold, maybe she has an eye infection? my older daughter has also had an eye infection that needed drops. </p> <p>i've also seen some posters say to use some breastmilk on the eye but i didn't try that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501784 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:26:56 +0000 soccermomma 501784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@andrea-thank you! I want to avoid going to the dr. if possible, hoping to try some home remedies first, if that doesn't improve the blockage, the we'll be making a trip to the dr! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501780 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:24:25 +0000 Andrea 501780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD was born with one. She is 13 days old and the dr. prescribed eye drops. The eye crusties have started to clear up after only a few days of use so I would ask your dr. about the drops! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blocked-tear-duct#post-501775 Sun, 13 Jan 2013 14:22:01 +0000 soccermomma 501775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My 3 1/2 mo old LO has a blocked/clogged tear duct. It's a little crusty after she wakes up and runs a little bit while she's awake. I've been using a warm wash cloth to clean/wipe her eye. She's just getting over a little cold, and has been congested in her nose, does this contribute to the clogged tear duct?<br /> Anyone's LO ever have a blocked tear duct? What did you do to remedy it, did you have to go to the dr.?<br /> Thanks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/finally-a-good-dr-appt#post-446055 Wed, 12 Dec 2012 20:50:35 +0000 Ash 446055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yay!

LOs weight was still 5th percentile.. However his height was 25th percentile (previously had been 5th percentile). The doctor also showed us his adjusted age chart and his weight was 50th percentile and height was 90th percentile. My munchkin is growing!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-and-tummy-time#post-344197 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:35:57 +0000 betsyboop 344197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We also did tummy time when LO was congested though I'm sure a few days without tummy time is fine. I think tummy time helped with nasal drainage. It was actually lying on her back that was uncomfortable for her! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-and-tummy-time#post-344169 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:12:47 +0000 prettylizy 344169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Skipping a few days of tummy time won't hurt, though my LO loves to be on her tummy when her nose is congested, I think it has to do with the draining. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-and-tummy-time#post-344167 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 08:11:09 +0000 Weagle 344167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still put LO on her tummy when she was congested. The worst thing that happened is that we got a bunch of snot on the playmat. Of course, make sure it doesn't make it harder for him to breathe. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-and-tummy-time#post-344131 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 07:49:55 +0000 Mrsbells 344131@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still put my baby on her belly even when she is congested. She likes being on her tummy though and prefers to sleep that way </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-and-tummy-time#post-344129 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 07:48:44 +0000 loveisstrange 344129@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He will be fine skipping a few days of tummy time.... its not going to hurt or delay him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sick-baby-and-tummy-time#post-344126 Wed, 17 Oct 2012 07:47:15 +0000 littlek 344126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has a little cold, mostly nasal congestion. Should we skip tummy time because of the congestion? I've been trying to keep him at an incline to help with his breathing. I know tummy time is super important with helping with his milestones. Thoughts? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gas-1#post-342473 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 10:09:55 +0000 Mrsbells 342473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always recommend Gripe water, especially the wellements brand because you can just add it to their bottle of milk</p> <p>My baby had major gas issues, now I give her gripe water twice a day and she is fine </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/baby-gas-1#post-342462 Tue, 16 Oct 2012 10:07:25 +0000 yoursilverlining 342462@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has had some pretty bad gas issues. Bicycling the legs works pretty well, but sometimes you have to bicycle for a while; and also bicycle several times a day; not just when they have the gas. Burping several times while feeding (even like after every 1oz.) Also pressing the legs against the chest sometimes works. Gripe water didn’t help us, but Pedia-Care gas drops do seem to help. We also give her a probiotic, which I think has helped some as well. Mostly; her digestive system just needed to grow/develop more, which just takes time. :/ </p>
