[blparent] Explaining vision loss to children

[Erin Rumer]

I know of blind baby's whose parents got mobiles for them but even more so I
know parents of blind and sighted children who are going with the soothers
like I got for my son.  It hooks to the side of the crib and is much
sturdier than a mobile and less likely to break down.  They not only play
music and lots of times offer a variety of songs and nature sounds, but
there is also a picture that moves on a screen for babies to look at.  The
great thing is that on a lot of the soothers you can have a choice of 5
minutes all the way up to 20 minutes or longer.

Now I'm wondering if babies who are blind get mobiles??
Anybody know?
I remember my daughter being very frustrated when her mobile would run down
after a few minutes because she was looking at it.

Wow that is a really interesting story and I can see why you would be
jealous knowing what you believed.
