Is there a saying that newborns can't open their eyes? Don't be naive, these reasons are the most real.

The happiest thing for a family is to welcome a new life, which means that there is a new member in the family. And those new parents will feel very novel and nervous when facing their children.

Recently, my sister's family welcomed her son, and the whole family was very excited. And when the child is born, his eyes are open, he is smart and energetic. The children's smart eyes make the whole family happy. I felt very proud when I was born, and this child will have a good future in the future.

I looked down, and my little nephew was really still in infancy, staring at the world with round eyes, feeling as if he were exploring the world, which also made me feel very happy.

In fact, it is normal for a baby to have his eyes open or closed when he is born, and it doesn't mean anything. The beautiful expectation of my sister's family is just a kind of psychological comfort.

But why are babies born with their eyes closed and their eyes open? It is necessary for parents to know something.

Factors affecting whether babies open their eyes or close their eyes at birth;

1. Slight impact

Newborns are not fully developed at birth. For example, their eyes feel light very strongly. If the light in the hospital is too strong, the newborn baby will choose to close his eyes to protect himself. This reaction is also a conditioned reflex.

However, many babies may be born with good eye ability, so they are not so excited about light, and they can see the world with their eyes open at birth.

2. Differences in development status

Every child is an independent individual, so the development status is different, and the treatment of the baby in the mother's body is different. So it is different whether the baby's eyes are open or closed after birth.

Generally speaking, most children can open their eyes three or four days after birth, and some children can open their eyes as soon as they are born. But the difference between waking up in the morning and evening does not mean that their growth process is different, nor does it mean that the baby's IQ is high or low. This is just a different state of growth.

sleep

Newborns sleep most of the time after birth. Sleep is their energy source. Under normal circumstances, children are awake for only one or two hours in 24 hours a day, and sleep at other times. So if you find that the child has been in a state of closing his eyes, it is very likely that the child is sleeping.

If parents want to see if their children can open their eyes, they must wait until their children wake up. If parents wake up their children when they are sleeping, it is very bad for them, and it is likely to affect their growth and development.

4. The baby is not very clean and hygienic

When the baby is born, if the baby's body is not cleaned up, it is very likely that the dirty things will be left in the mother's fetus.

Of course, if the dirt on the baby's eyes is not cleaned normally, it will naturally make the baby unable to open his eyes. Therefore, parents must clean the baby's body regularly to keep the baby clean and hygienic at all times. This also plays a very important role in their health.

In short, it is a normal physiological phenomenon for children to open their eyes or close their eyes after birth, so parents don't have to work too hard and worry. In fact, normally, within three to four days after the baby is born, the baby can open his eyes normally. In this process, parents also need to interact with their children more, which has a very favorable impact on their growth and development.
