Ameena is now [gulp] 10 1/2 weeks old (I think?).
She had her 8 week doctor’s appointment last week at 9 weeks.
We had the usual developmental checklist. All fine.
She’s gained plenty of weight…..getting pretty close to doubling her birth weight, which isn’t nearly as hard when you start out so light (6 1/2 pounds).
I told the doctor she had a problem with me taking dairy. He noted it.
I told the doctor she seemed to have mild torticollis (I only know what it is because Eli had it at birth because he was a shoulder dystocia baby!). He noted it. We discussed simple exercises, positioning of Ameena etc.
OK, all of this background to say that I have found the PERFECT stimulus capable of getting Ameena to turn to her non-favored side. I have tried toys, and cooing at her, the kids, blah, blah, blah, all to no avail.
Until……
TELEVISION. She is mesmerized by it. Even a boring movie about Leo Tolstoy.
Mind all of you, this is my third child, I’m not gonna wig out about a little television use like I might have with my 1st “perfectly” reared child. This is serious medical therapy. So hush.
