Did you know that most newborns don't have tears when they cry? Most newborns have underdeveloped tear ducts when they are born and it takes a while for them to form. In the
article I read the pediatrician said it could take anywhere between 2 weeks to 2 months for a baby's tear ducts to fully develop. So, if you think a dry teared, crying baby is a heartbreaker then add some wet tears on top of that and you'll have a heartshattering crying baby.
Aki Bear's ducts have started to produce those liquid tears. It's not that I was unsympathetic towards him before but now it tugs a wee bit harder at the ol' heartstrings when he is crying for a clean diaper or sobbing for sleep or bawling for boob. Wet tears win in the match against dry tears, hands down, total knockout.
