A baby can open his eyes at birth, which is a sign of good development and intelligence. Don't be self-righteous.
Parents are good to their children, and so are their elders, but there are not a few elders who do bad things with good intentions, because they are superstitious about some indigenous methods and think that these methods can promote the baby's development, but these methods have no scientific basis, and often "overexert" will occur, which will eventually hurt the baby!
Today we are going to talk about whether it is better to open your eyes or not to open your eyes after your baby is born. Old people also have their own views on this, and this indigenous way to help babies open their eyes, but it is still a way to encourage babies, you know?

Ma Bao Xiaoyu successfully gave birth to a baby boy, and the whole family was very happy. But the next day, the baby didn't open his eyes, almost all of them were sleeping, and his eyes were closed all the time. Ma Bao Xiaoyu also asked the doctor for this. The doctor said nothing, the newborn baby needs to adapt slowly. This is normal, pay more attention to observation.
But the mother-in-law doesn't think so, and thinks that the baby's eyes open early is a smart and healthy performance. Mother-in-law thought of an indigenous method, so she opened her eyes with her hands and licked them with her mouth. She thinks this way will help her open her eyes as soon as possible, which is good for her eye development.
After a few days, although the baby's eyes opened, they always felt something was wrong. After the doctor checked, the baby's eyes became inflamed. Fortunately, it was found in time, and there was no big problem. After the doctor asked, he learned that the baby's eyes were inflamed, probably because her mother-in-law used indigenous methods. The doctor said angrily, it's too unreasonable. If it is found late, the baby's eyes may need surgery. Ma Bao Xiaoyu was frightened after hearing this, and her mother-in-law blamed herself.
Is it smarter for newborn babies to open their eyes early?
Newborn babies, after birth, the sooner they open their eyes, the smarter and healthier they are. Actually, it is not. You know, babies can open their eyes, not after birth. In fact, as early as in the mother's stomach, the baby's eyes have developed very well and can be opened after about 27 weeks of pregnancy.
However, there is no light in the pregnant mother's stomach, and it is dark. So the baby feels the same when he opens his eyes or closes them. So most babies are closed. After all, it is quite difficult for the little guy to open his eyes, and the newborn baby is weak and spends most of his time in sleep. So, most of the time, he is too lazy to open his eyes. Even if I opened my eyes, I just slept for a while.
So whether a newborn baby can open his eyes after birth has nothing to do with whether the baby is smart or not. Ma Bao, you must never judge whether your baby is smart or not, and don't force your baby to open his eyes by using indigenous methods. The baby's eyes are very fragile. If you are not careful, it is easy to hurt your baby's eyes, affect your baby's eye development, and then affect your baby's life.
The sooner a newborn baby opens his eyes, the better his development will be?
If the baby can open his eyes after birth, it can be said that the baby's physical development is better than that of the baby who can't open his eyes. The baby has strong adaptability, is not sensitive to external light stimulation, and can adapt faster. The brain has more control over the eyes.
However, this does not mean that the newborn baby will be able to open his eyes and develop better physically after birth. It may be that the outside light is too strong to stimulate the baby to open his eyes, or it may be that he was too tired during the baby's birth. After birth, he will rest with his eyes closed.
Say something sweet:
Generally speaking, the baby's physical development is different. It is normal to open your eyes within 2 or 3 days after birth, so treasure moms don't have to worry and be nervous. It is necessary to know that newborn babies have weak eyes, and it is not necessarily a good thing to open them after birth. It may be that the external light is too strong, which stimulates the baby's eyes and hurts the baby's eyes.
Even if the baby can open his eyes as soon as possible after birth, he should pay attention to the external light, try to keep it soft, and don't let the strong light shine directly on his eyes. Pay more attention to rest the baby's eyes. If the baby's eyes don't open after birth, then don't be superstitious about some indigenous methods. Instead, we should seek the help of doctors and listen to their guidance to make the baby develop smarter and healthier. # Parents #
