[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t mean this to sound dismissive, although I realize it might, but I think it’s more likely that you’re suffering from PPA or PPD than that there’s something actually wrong with your baby. When I was in the throes of PPA I convinced myself something was wrong with my baby, and I’ve heard other moms discuss the same experience. [/quote]

Particularly since you’re worried about FAS when you didn’t drink (??) and you brought it up to the doctor and he’s not concerned either. [/quote]

I agree with the above. It would be ridiculous if you were worried about how she looks or how she might look (especially because you don't think thin lips are a problem for your husband), but the fact that you are concerned about her lips when she's nursing fine, there aren't any physical issues, and your ped said there was nothing to worry about seems like PPA/PPD. For some perspective, my younger child was born with an umbilical hernia (quite common, usually goes away in the first few years - but if it doesn't it would require surgery at around five). I was sad when our ped told us about the umbilical hernia and asked if there was anything we should or shouldn't do, but I didn't research it obsessively and I didn't blame myself. I couldn't forget about it, because I saw it whenever I changed my baby's diaper. That said, I just enjoyed my baby and focused on everything else going on in my life - it wasn't hard to do. A year later, the hernia closed. I would give the lips some time and remind yourself that there isn't a physical issue, it's purely cosmetic. [/quote]
