Photo flash on baby's eyes

After a baby is born, its organs are not yet fully developed, especially the eyes, which are very fragile. Therefore, parents should try not to use flash when taking pictures. It is best to use natural light. If you must use a flash, be sure to change the angle of illumination, otherwise it will hurt the baby's eyes. If you accidentally flash the baby's eyes once or twice, don't worry too much. You must pay attention to it in the future.

What babies fear most is long-term strong light and weak light environment

1: Use a bathroom heater when taking a bath. When bathing their baby, some mothers are afraid that the baby will be too cold, so they turn on the bathroom heater. The baby's eyes are very sensitive to light and have a strong tendency to move towards light. The continuous strong light produced by the bathroom heater can cause permanent damage to your baby's eyesight.

2: Breastfeeding in a fixed position for a long time. The same breastfeeding position and posture for a long time can easily cause strabismus in the baby. When the baby is breastfeeding, he will subconsciously use one eye to look at a familiar place while the other eye is closed, which can easily cause strabismus. Mothers should consciously change different breastfeeding postures and locations to avoid strabismus in their babies.

3: Put sunglasses on your baby. Babies' eyes are afraid of strong light and also afraid of long periods of low light. After wearing sunglasses, the baby's line of sight becomes closer, which can easily cause visual fatigue. A baby's vision is in its golden period of development. Long-term visual fatigue at this time will cause myopia and amblyopia in the baby. It is okay to wear sunglasses for a short time when the light is very strong outdoors, but you must avoid your baby's visual fatigue for a long time indoors or in places with normal lighting. This may cause irreversible vision damage to your baby.

4: When the baby is young, many parents are worried that they cannot notice the baby crying in time, so they choose to sleep with the lights on. If the light is not turned off when the baby is sleeping, it will increase the possibility of the baby suffering from myopia. The first two years after a baby is born are a critical period for the development of the eyes and focal adjustment functions. If the time spent in bright and dark environments is not balanced, it may affect the development of children's vision. Parents are advised to pay attention to this detail and turn off the lights when the baby is sleeping.

5: Let your baby watch TV. Many mothers believe that although watching TV will affect the baby's eyesight, watching TV can calm the child and develop intelligence, killing two birds with one stone, so they ignore the impact on the baby's eyesight. In fact, watching TV will seriously affect the baby's intellectual development. When babies first come into contact with the world, they need to actively explore the world. Active exploration is very beneficial to the baby's intellectual development. In contrast, it is difficult for babies to develop their intelligence through the passive indoctrination method of television, and watching TV may even delay the baby's time to actively explore the world.
