Why doesn't the baby blink?

Under normal circumstances, people will blink at different frequencies to moisturize our eyeballs and prevent dry eyes. However, many parents will find that newborns, in addition to not being able to speak (which is normal), often do not blink after birth. In this case, they may suspect that this is an intellectual problem. Here we will introduce some relevant knowledge about newborn blinking.

Why don't newborns blink?

1. Generally speaking, we all know that it is a normal physiological phenomenon for babies to blink. If they do not blink, it is not necessarily caused by mental retardation. It may be related to the clinical lack of trace elements. We should pay attention to observation afterwards, and we can also supplement trace elements appropriately for treatment, and it can slowly return to normal.

2. Some experts say that if babies always fail to blink when they are older, it may be related to mental retardation, which may be caused by certain problems with brain function. If a two-month-old child only stares at one spot without blinking, it is considered to be a problem with his intelligence. We should pay special attention to this aspect. But if the baby is older,

3. We cannot generalize the behavior of newborn babies, and we cannot say for sure that it is caused by low intelligence, but we need to consider the possibility of brain hypoxia or poor development, and we must distinguish clearly in this regard. If necessary, you can give your baby a physical examination. It is important to regulate his emotions.

Note:

In short, when babies are born, they are more curious about the world, and the number of times they blink has a certain relationship with intelligence. The baby is young and his eyes are not fully developed yet, so we should not worry too much about some abnormalities. If you are worried, you can go to the hospital for a head CT scan to see if there are any congenital lesions.
