Question
My child is 8 months old and has been frequently blinking and squinting lately. Is this normal? Should I be worried?
Answer
This kind of behavior is not uncommon in infants and is usually a normal developmental action. The child may be imitating adults or others, or deliberately performing these actions to attract the attention of parents. In most cases, there is no need to worry. However, if you still feel concerned or if this behavior persists, consider taking the child to a hospital for an eye examination by an ophthalmologist to rule out any potential issues. The doctor’s professional opinion can help you better understand your child’s condition and provide appropriate advice and guidance.
