[blparent] blind parents information

[Veronica Smith]

Here's a funny for you.  When gab was new born, I tried and tried to get the
little sack like sleeper, called a layette over her head and could not.  I
broke down and sobbed, calling myself a failure at dressing my own new baby.
My husband came in and showed me that instead of going over the head, I
could pull it up from the feet, over the body and up to the neck.  Many
different ways  of putting the clothes on. Now it is funny, then, not so
much!

Hi Pippi,
i did not know that sighted people also dressed their babies that way.
THANKS!!!
It was just easier for me.
And: this is a great point.
Blind people are made to feel that if they do things differently: it
is either wrong or just because they are blind. Not true.
sheila, we are both blind, as well. OK, we have to start looking for a
good pediatrician.
Hmmm, I did not have much of a choice when my children were born: only
one peditrician in the entire town.... ... now it is different.
But, now i live in a large city.
So, I'll write a new msg about questions to select a respectful
pediatrician.
