Patient's question:
Rarely open your eyesDoctor's answer:
The newborn has just left the warmth of the mother's body and entered a completely unfamiliar environment. They are not yet accustomed to the room's temperature, humidity, and light, so many babies won't open their eyes right after birth. This is a normal phenomenon, and mothers don't need to worry too much. You can gently wipe their eyes with a cotton swab dipped in water, but be careful not to apply too much force to avoid hurting the baby. If the baby still doesn't open their eyes after some time, it is still recommended to take them to the hospital for a check-up to see if there is an issue with their eyes.
