An awareness study about the Eye safety while breast feeding in small children and infants, as there are always chances of an eye injury to the baby with the hook of mother’s blouse. In India blouse is a traditional top women used to wear mostly.
A four days old baby girl reported to our hospital in emergency followed by an injury with a hook of a blouse. On examination she was diagnosed small lid tear at upper lid. Baby’s mother told that she was feeding her and suddenly she moved her head and blouse hook scratched the upper lid.
She then taken to Operating room and tear sutured under topical anesthesia. Baby’s recovery was fast and uneventful on subsequent follow ups. As an eye health care provider we noticed that there are lots of trauma cases are being reported to us with history of injury with a hook of blouse while breast feeding to their babies. This is typically happening with the blouse only because in rural part women do veil and due to veil women some time cannot see well that hook comes very close to the baby’s eye and causes trauma. So we decided to start an awareness campaign in our cataract screening camps. This awareness made an huge impact which could avoid such injury.

Routine Instruments like Torch, Hand held slit lamp and Operating Microscope and surgical instruments set for trauma repair.
Early surgical interventions gave very good results in terms of good contour of lid and Corneal shape although visual out comes yet to measured but in subsequent follow ups babies look comfortable.
We need to spread this message in our society that mothers have to be extra careful while feeding their child. Even our Gynecologists should also explain the soft stretchable cloth top without hooks or pin to avoid any trauma.
We acknowledge my sincere thanks to our hospital management, IT team, colleagues in OPD and OT Ms Vimla Rai and Mr KS Nagda for their valuable support to carry out this awareness programme.
