Question

Is it normal for newborns to occasionally roll their eyes after feeding?

Answer

Hello! Based on your description, your baby may occasionally roll their eyes and even smile unintentionally as they prepare to fall asleep after each feeding. As long as your baby’s eating and sleeping patterns are good, these behaviors are typically normal. Since the nervous system of newborns is not fully mature, they may have some unconscious movements, such as rolling their eyes or smiling while sleeping. Therefore, as long as your baby’s eating, sleeping, and body temperature are normal, there is no need to be overly concerned.
