Guest guest Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Paige has been waking up in the mornings with a swollen eye. It's not everyday, and sometimes it's worse than others. At first I thought it was a dog hair or something she rubbed into it, but putting a cold cloth on it at every diaper change gets the swelling down before noon. I don't think it's allergies because it's only one eye. What I never clued into though is that its the side she sleeps on now that we have success at night with the pinned positioner. Could lying on her side somehow be causing this swelling? It's towards the outer part of the eye, but it swells both above and below the eye. It doesn't seem to bother her, she doesn't rub at it or fuss, although she might blink a bit more. Anyone else encounter this or is it completely unrelated?

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2002 Report Share Posted July 5, 2002 Kate: It's pretty hard to say if this is plagio related or not. My almost 2 yr old nephew just got over a swollen eye 2 days ago - he got it out of the blue, my sister took him to the Dr. & was told it was a bacterial infection. They put him on antibiotics - 24 hrs later he was fine. My nephew also just got over mono where he had swollen lymph nodes & a swollen belly...poor fella! But his swollen eye didn't bother him one bit either...he didn't itch or rub it & was happy. Keep your eye on it, if it doesn't get better soon,you might want to take her to the Dr. Debbie Abby's mom DOCGrad MI > Paige has been waking up in the mornings with a swollen eye.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Hi , It's not too uncommon for this to happen. I think you should call your CT and just let them know what is going on.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 , I agree with . If nothing else they can note it in her file. Let us know what they say.

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 CT said leave the band on and just watch it today (which I already asked daycare to do). She said it isn't uncommon for swelling to happen if they sleep on it weird and for an extended period, but that it isn't cause for concern unless it doesn't go away. I know Jordyn slept on it pretty much the entire night. Everytime I went in to check on her, she was rolled over on her face. I kept trying to put her on her side or back, but she would just roll right over again. Stubborn girl!! She just looks so pitiful today - like she's been in a boxing match but without the bruises! *L* Thanks for your input... > > Well, Jordyn decided to sleep on her face last night (what is it > with > > plagio babies doing this?!), now her eye is swollen.
