Eye rubbing
Hey Ladies, I have a preemie who was given oxygen at birth. When they receive oxygen at birth it can mess with how the blood vessels in their eyes grow and cause blindness. All is well currently, her specialist says her eyes look perfect but I need to keep her from rubbing them because that stimulates the vessels as well. She has her follow up opthalmology appointment on the 27th, but I'm still trying to keep her from rubbing her eyes. She mainly does it when she's tired. I've tried mittens but she just takes them off. Right now I just pull her hand from her face and let her hold my hand until she falls asleep but it doesn't always work. Any tips would be helpful.
