One day I had a terrible night with my baby crying all night. He was 1 and a half year old and I was all alone. My husband had left to work for a whole week and I started to think that my baby was crying because he missed him. I couldn't stop the crying, he cried loudly and very sentimental like if something was hurting him. I got very nervous and didn't know what to do. I did all kinds of things , like carry him, sing lullabies, play, change diaper, gave tempra, watch a movie, gave him food anything you could imagine.
He didn't stop. So out of nowhere I thought about touching every part of his body starting by taking his pajamas off and touching his head, ears, shoulders, arms, hands, stomach, legs, and when I got to the his feet I took of his socks and there it was, one of his toes was hurt because of a string of his sock and his toe was not circulating any blood and his toe was all purple. Once I took his socks of and the string untangled he stop crying. I couldn’t believe such thing, I never imagined that could be. So for now on I always think of this experience that could happen to anyone and maybe help to somebody that’s in the same position and it could be one in a million, but it really helps to touch and feel his body cause maybe one part of it could hurt a lot and this way is easy to notice. After that he fell asleep right away and had a great night. chongcuy@hotmail.com
