This Dad Uploaded A Photo Of His Daughter For A Very Good Reason

Sometimes we don't know why our babies are crying and it can be the most heartbreaking thing in the world! 

Two weeks ago, Scott and Jessica’s baby daughter, Molly, started screaming at lunch. She got so worked up that she began to overheat, which prompted Jess to take off her socks off. . . and that’s where they discovered the source of Molly’s despair. Scott uploaded a picture of his daughter’s toe, which had been injured by the most seemingly innocent of things: a strand of hair.

“This is called a hair tourniquet, which is literally a strand of hair that, while inside a sock, unexplainably wraps around a toe so tight that it can cut through the skin and potentially cut off blood circulation,” Scott wrote in the post.

Luckily, Jess was able to get the hair off with some tweezers and a magnifying glass, but by that point the hair had cut all the way through Molly’s delicate skin.

Even though this may seem quite uncommon, according to parenting and youth development expert Dr. Debi Gilboa, this is something many in pediatrics look for if a child won’t stop crying.

Scott shared the image to ensure other parents know what to look out for!
