Welcome to the group. I find lots of encouragement on this site.
yes, many yrs. ago when my first-born was almost a yr. old, my mother-in-law told me his eyes were crossed and I should go see a doctor, etc. etc. Well, I made an appt. with dr. and fretted and worried for weeks, until he reassured me nothing was wrong and that it was quite normal for babies to cross their eyes once in awhile. Next problem experience was when he wet his bed after he had been toilet trained - we had gone away on holidays for 3 wks. or so. Again mother-in-law told me there must be something wrong with his bladder, infection, who knows what. Dr's. appt. cleared that up. It was the upset of having us away, not understanding that it was a holiday and we would be back. After a wk. or so being home again and having us around, the security of the usual home-life routine, etc. everything was back to normal and there was no bedwetting.
Honestly, there are many instances when an innocent remark makes us feel so inadequate. What is the truth? If the dr. says your child is fine, then you have done your best, you've asked an expert, not someone on the street. When your self-confidence is low you tend not to trust your instincts. Have faith in yourself. You love her and she loves you. You wouldn't let anything bad happen to her. You would take her to a hosptial, doctor, as soon as you knew something was wrong. This is a good thing that you are a caring and loving mom.
Being primary care giver to our little ones is an awesome job. It can get overwhelming especially when we work too. Do you get some alone time? That is, an outing, lunch, with girlfriends, relaxation time. Just wondering if this would help you focus on something else for awhile and feel more relaxed.
Hope this helps a little. Good luck...
