This is assuming it''s not life threatening, of course.
My friend (let''s call her Z) asked me that question after we both noticed another friend''s kid has a really flat head. I said, in that particular case, no I would not. I just figure if moms don''t notice their kid''s head is flat, that''s their issue, not mine and it might not be an issue for them anyway. No one wants to be told they are doing something "wrong." Z''s response is that she would want to know.
I noticed yesterday (and have been noticing on and off again ) that in some photos I took of Z''s son and Amelia, that Z''s son''s eyes seem to cross (or at least one of them does). He is over 2 years old. One eye has always seem to gravitate toward the middle in pictures, but I don''t notice too much in real life. This is probably because (and this will sound bad, but it really isn''t), he is Korean and has small eyes so sometimes it''s hard to tell. She asked her ped about it ages ago when he was several months old and he gave her the name of a well known opthamologist (or whatever they are) around here. She just shrugged it off and told me she thinks her son is fine.
It''s noticeable in the pictures, but it''s kind of what he always looks like so it is hard to tell if I think about it. The only reason I am inclined to say something is that eye issues are so much more easily treated if caught early. And then there is the part of me that thinks...eh, not my business...hate giving unsolicited advice.
Your two cents on the subject in general?
