It is said that the eyes are the windows of the soul, so that the baby has a pair of dark and bright eyes, which should be the expectation of every pair of parents for the baby, and many people think that if the baby is double eyelids, the eyes will look more beautiful. But everyone seems to have found that newborns seem to have single eyelids, what is going on?
01
On the question of why many newborns have single eyelids, let's take a look at it first.
First of all, why can we see so many newborns with single eyelids, mainly because of physiological edema at birth of newborns. When a newborn is just born, the proportion of body fluids is much higher than that of ordinary people, and the total amount of body fluids accounts for about 80% of the body, while the average person accounts for about 55%, which means that the newborn is "a little swollen" when it is born, so even the double eyelids, because of the swelling, look like a single eyelid.
However, this situation is only temporary, the baby will begin to appear "dehydrated" three or four days after birth, when the baby's eyelids are not so swollen, some double eyelid babies can gradually see it.
However, it is not certain when it will be possible, because the situation of each baby is different. It could be one month, it could be three months, it could be three years, indefinitely.
If the baby itself is a single eyelid, then even after a few decades, the baby will still have a single eyelid.
Secondly, the baby's eyes have not yet opened. Some babies are born with the inner corners of their eyes not fully open and look like a single eyelid.
This situation changes as your baby ages, and when your baby grows a little older, the inner corners of the eyes open and the single eyelid becomes a charming double eyelid.
Finally, the newborn appears to have a single eyelid, and it is possible that he is a single eyelid himself. Due to genetic factors, the baby's single eyelid or double eyelid will generally follow the parents. For example, if the parents are double eyelids, then the baby is most likely to be double eyelids; if the parents are single eyelids, then the baby is most likely to be a single eyelid; when the parents are double eyelids and the other is a single eyelid, the baby may have a single eyelid or double eyelid.
The lazy mother's two children were born with single eyelids, and at the beginning the lazy mother was also a little unhappy, thinking, how can the child not come with the mother to have a double eyelid, that is much better. Who knows, I don't remember how long it took, the eldest grew into double eyelids, the second is now more than four years old, looking or single eyelids, I can't say it later.
Some parents are more anxious because they see that the baby is born with a single eyelid, and when the baby is very young, they want to use some methods to make the baby become double eyelids, such as massaging the eyes, stickers and the like. The lazy mother felt that there was no need for that, because, since it was genetic, it was also innate, how could it be easily changed!
Moreover, often artificially interfere with the baby's eyes, perhaps it will also bring harm to the baby's eyes.
Although the double eyelids look very beautiful, but the single eyelid is not bad, it is also very cute, there is no need to over-entangle this problem, not to mention, the baby is still so small, now do not know whether it is a single eyelid or double eyelid.
When the baby grows up, if you still feel that the single eyelid is not good, then go to the plastic surgery hospital for a small operation, and why bother now.

Do a good job of cleaning
It is best for parents to wash their hands before holding the baby, and do not touch the baby's eyes with their hands. It is also necessary to help the baby gently wipe his eyes every day when he washes his face and keep them clean.
Remember, before each wash, be sure to wash your hands clean.
If your baby has eye droppings, you can dip a warm towel or cotton swab in warm water and wipe it out from the corner of your eye, remembering to rub it gently.
Also keep your baby's small hands clean and hygienic, so as to avoid your baby scratching them with his own hands and scratching his or her nails through the eyes or around them.
Avoid bright light and direct sunlight
Usually when taking the baby, we must avoid strong light or sunlight directly to the baby's eyes, and we must not let the baby go to the mobile phone, computer, TV and other products, so as not to affect the baby's vision, if serious, and even lead to retinal detachment.
