Glasses on Babies

Yesterday I picked up glasses for my 8 month old baby. She looks pretty cute in them! I am not looking forward to keeping them on her face. She has a condition called Nystagmus which is a technical term for her "jiggly" eyes. She has the same thing that her older sister has and that was how we knew to take her in. However, the glasses aren't for the nystagmus but for her myopia(near-sightedness) although there seems to be a slight beneficial decrease in the jiggling with her glasses. I have been amazed at how well keeps them on for being a baby but the bigger challenge is proving to be putting them on her. It seems she is sleeping or eating/nursing so often that I am taking them off and not putting them on.
