I recently went to a weaning session at the clinic, they were just giving us info mainly and at the end I mentioned that I was gonna come tomorrow to get her weighed and the health visitor said if I stayed behind she would do it then, save me a second trip. So when everyone had left she very nicely mentioned did I think Gwen eyes were a bit crossed, I said well I thought that was normal while they were still young? (A midwife friend has said in passing that her daughters eyes had still been crossed at times when she was 6 months old, so I took this to mean it was not out of the ordinary)
She said 'not really at nearly 4 months', and would I mind if she referred me to the specialist eye doctor. So now I'm waiting for the appointment and I'm just really hoping that they will say that it could still sort itself out. Google isn't very promising, suggesting that after 2 months they should be straight and that the ways they it be dealt with are a patch on the good eye to help strengthen the bad one, or glasses or a little operation. I know it's nothing overly serious and i'm grateful that she seems a happy healthy baby in all other ways. I just don't want her to be picked on if she has funny eyes or has to wear thick glasses when she's little. Children can be mean sometimes.
