Why does my baby have swollen eyes after waking up?

For us adults, it is normal to sleep for 7-8 hours a day. But the younger the baby at home, the longer he sleeps. This is because the baby is still growing during sleep. Therefore, ensuring the baby's sleep time and sleep quality is beneficial to the baby's normal development. However, recently many parents and friends have asked experts why their babies’ eyes become swollen after waking up. Below, let’s analyze the reasons.

1. The most common reason is that the baby drank too much water the night before, and will have swollen eyes when waking up in the morning. If the baby's spirit and diet are normal after waking up, there is no need to worry. What mothers should pay attention to is to control the amount of water the baby drinks before going to bed.

2. Poor sleep quality of babies may also cause swollen eyes when waking up, and even eye pain. At this time, parents should take measures to ensure the baby's sleep, such as letting the baby develop good sleeping habits, keeping a relaxed attitude before going to bed, and creating a good sleeping environment for the baby.

3. Incorrect sleeping posture can also cause swollen eyes. The correct sleeping posture should be lying on the right side. Sleeping on your back or lying down is unscientific for the baby. In addition, if the baby's pillow is uncomfortable when sleeping or does not sleep with a pillow, the eyes will be swollen in the morning, which requires careful care from parents.

4. The baby's circulatory system is not yet fully developed, and his diet is generally mainly liquid food, which can easily cause moisture accumulation in the stomach and intestines, leading to swollen eyes. Therefore, when parents prepare complementary foods for their babies, they should try to choose some diuretic and spleen-strengthening foods to prevent spleen and stomach dysfunction.

5. In addition, environmental pollution, eye irritation, primary kidney disease, etc. may cause baby's eye swelling. If parents cannot find the cause of their baby's swollen eyes in life, they should go to the local Chinese medicine hospital as soon as possible.

The five situations analyzed by the above experts are several conclusions drawn by summarizing and generalizing many questions raised by parents. If your baby has swollen eyes after waking up, please don't worry, help your baby find the cause and pay attention to it. If the reason is not included in the above analysis, please take your baby to the hospital for timely examination.
