Every day of raising a baby, a mother must not be idle and must always worry about the baby's health. Attention to the health status of babies should start from the subtle aspects. Every abnormal behavior of babies should be taken seriously, which may indicate that the mother is not feeling well. Why does the baby keep rubbing his eyes?
Under normal circumstances, babies do not rub their eyes frequently. They may only use their small hands to rub their eyes when feeling drowsy. If the baby only shows such behavior occasionally, don't worry, put the baby to sleep first, and continue to observe after waking up. If the baby no longer rubs their eyes after waking up, there is no need to worry or seek treatment. It is important to ensure that the baby's hands are clean and hygienic.
But if the baby's eyes are rubbed and accompanied by symptoms such as redness, tears, and increased eye discharge, it may be caused by conjunctivitis. Mothers can use eye drops or physiological saline to rinse their babies' eyes, and then apply some anti-inflammatory ointment, which will heal in a few days.
If the baby rubs their eyes every day and there are no obvious symptoms of eye disease, then it should be considered that there is a problem with their vision. It is recommended that mothers take their babies to the hospital for vision testing in a timely manner, to check for vision problems such as myopia, visual fatigue, strabismus, and amblyopia. And attention should be paid to urging babies to use their eyes reasonably to avoid vision loss.
