Question
How many days after birth is it normal for a newborn to open their eyes?
Answer
Newborns are born with the ability to open their eyes, but most newborn babies are accustomed to the dim light in their mother’s womb. After birth, they may not be comfortable with bright light and tend to be in a state of sleep, which is easily overlooked by parents and mistaken for not opening their eyes. Always keep an eye on your child. As for the frequency of opening their eyes, there is no clear rule. Don’t worry too much; just keep an eye on it. Maybe you’ll see your baby’s eyes open tomorrow. Avoid shining bright light directly into your baby’s eyes as it can be uncomfortable.
