Stabbed himself right in the open eye. He wasn't very happy about it! They grow out of it pretty fast though </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-discovering-hands-did-your-lo-poke-himherself-in-the-eye#post-428190 Sun, 02 Dec 2012 16:39:37 +0000 sorrycharlie 428190@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've noticed my LO doing this too! she kind of grabs her face and pulls. I figure if she pokes herself, she'll cry and I'll know if it happened that way..I know sometimes I'll rub my eye and it doesn't hurt, so I kind of go by her cues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pre-discovering-hands-did-your-lo-poke-himherself-in-the-eye#post-397534 Wed, 14 Nov 2012 15:33:18 +0000 MusicaV 397534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS loves to put his hands up by his face. He's started sucking on his fingers because they end up near his mouth. When he does that, he sometimes comes really close to poking himself in the eye. The first time I saw it, he had his finger pulling down his lower eyelid. I quickly moved it away. It seems like the reflex to close his eyes should kick in, but it hasn't the few times I've seen this happen. He can't really poke himself, right? </p>
