Today I asked myself, what would be the newborn's reaction after receiving the irritating, blur-inducing neonatal antibiotic eye treatment? Since they can't move much, after squeezing their eyes shut they probably want to curl into the fetal position. Now, when I want to defeat the blur I remember that, along with using the Bates Methods and everything else discussed so far, I also need to fight the unconscious (now it's more just subliminal since I've made myself aware of it) urge to slightly curl into the fetal position. It is working. 8)
