Causes of puffy eyes in babies

Newborn babies are very fragile and need careful care from our parents. Swollen eyelids are also a very common disease in babies, and there are many reasons for this. If the child’s sleep quality is poor or the sleeping posture is improper, it will cause the child’s eyes to be swollen. So when these problems occur, our parents need to pay more attention to the baby.

Reasons for children's swollen eyes:

1. Poor sleep. If you stay up late at night and have less sleep, you may get swollen eyes after getting up in the morning, and some people may experience eye pain and swelling;

2. It is related to sleeping posture. For example, some children occasionally do not use pillows and may have swollen eyes after a night's sleep. However, some children never use pillows to sleep and their eyes will not be swollen. This may be related to personal habits.

3. Related to drinking water. Some children drink a lot of water before going to bed, so they will have swollen eyes in the morning, which will disappear during the day.

The above eye swelling is normal, so if it is clearly caused by these reasons, there is no need to worry. The eye swelling related to diseases mainly includes: skin disease, heart and kidney dysfunction, and angioedema.

If the urine shows signs of kidney disease, the eyes may be swollen. If the urine test is normal, the nutrition is adequate, and the baby is breastfeeding well, and the edema is not caused by nutrition, then there is no problem. Also check if there is anything wrong with the eyes. Sometimes swollen eyes are a local problem, such as infection or conjunctivitis, which can also cause swelling. If there are no other reasons, the child's problem is not serious. Don’t let a three-month-old baby watch TV because his eyes are sensitive and the TV is too bright. A three-month-old baby talks more to his mother. His mother teases him to make him happy and he looks at his mother's face. He likes to look at people's faces the most. So you should spend more time with him, stay closer to him, let him talk to him, and let him know his mother.

In addition, show him some toys of various colors and shapes. You can also hang some paintings on the wall. The characteristic of paintings that children like is that each painting has a theme and is painted larger, such as a rooster, a cat, a human head, or some cartoon images. Or he can only accept some foods that are larger.

Through the above, we have made a detailed introduction to the reasons why babies have swollen eyelids. The baby’s swollen eyes may be due to the above reasons. Of course, it may also be swollen eyes related to diseases. This requires our young parents to observe in detail. If the situation is very serious, go to the hospital for treatment, find out the cause, and get rid of the troubles of this disease as soon as possible.
