Dear Abby: Grandma Thinks She Has a Better Eye for What’s Ailing Newborn than Overwhelmed Mom
- A 38-year-old grandmother feels blessed to have her first grandbaby while her daughter Robin struggles alone with the baby daily because her partner works.
- The grandmother raised Robin and her brother, who are 12 months apart, on her own, but she now rarely sees her grandchild due to no vehicle and Robin lacking a driver's license.
- Robin is in a fragile state, experiencing stress and postpartum depression, which requires urgent medical attention to prevent worsening symptoms over time.
- The grandmother believes the baby has a lazy eye and stresses that the granddaughter should have regular pediatric check-ups where any issues would be caught and treated promptly.
- The grandmother feels unable to say or do the right thing for Robin now but emphasizes strongly that Robin needs to be told to seek proper treatment and support.
