When babies wake up in the morning, their eyes secrete eye droppings. Some parents have heard that they can use baby urine to wipe their eyes to remove them, but this claim has no scientific basis. So, can baby urine wash their eyes?
Baby eye washing should not be done with baby urine, as urine is originally a waste product excreted by the body and is not beneficial to the body. Baby's eyes are relatively fragile, and other folk remedies should not be used indiscriminately to wash their eyes. The urine that has not been discharged may not contain bacteria, but the urine discharged from the body may contain some non pathogenic bacteria. Therefore, parents should not use folk remedies indiscriminately to raise their babies, but should raise them scientifically.
Washing the baby's eyes is mainly to remove substances such as acid, alkali, or foreign bodies in the superficial layer of the cornea and conjunctival sac. It can be wiped with liquid medicine or warm water. You can use flushing solution, antibiotic solution, 3% boric acid water, 0.9% saline solution, etc. to wash your eyes. When rinsing, first separate the eyes and face with the index finger and thumb, and sometimes ask the baby to turn their eyelids to thoroughly clean.
When washing, first drop a few drops of solution into the eyes, then rinse from the inside out. When washing, rotate the eyes up, down, left, and right to rinse all parts of the eyes. The eye wash container should not be too far or too close to the eyes, as being too close can harm or contaminate the eyes. If the eye wash container is too far away from the eyes, the solution may not be in place.
