Baby has eye bags and dark circles

It is a common situation for babies to have dark circles under their eyes. Generally speaking, everyone thinks that dark circles are caused by staying up late. However, for babies who get enough sleep, dark circles will basically not be caused by sleep problems. Therefore, if your child has dark circles under his eyes, you must consider whether it is caused by rhinitis, family genetics, or fair skin.

1. Children's dark circles may be caused by rhinitis

If your child has dark circles around his eyes, it is usually not because of lack of sleep or poor sleep quality, but may be caused by the baby's health!

The most likely cause of dark circles around your child's eyes is a stuffy nose. If a child's nose is blocked, the blood vessels around the eyes will become thicker, the blood will turn black, blood circulation will be poor, and venous blood will be blocked around the eyes, thus forming obvious panda eyes.

A stuffy nose can be caused by hay fever, sinus infections, colds, and allergies. In addition, nasal congestion can also be caused by enlarged tonsils. Enlarged tonsils may cause your child to breathe through his mouth more than his nose. Furthermore, nasal congestion can also be caused by enlarged tonsils.

2. It may be due to family inheritance

Children's dark circles can be inherited. Some people have very thin skin around their eyes. This can be inherited. Check to see if everyone in your family circle has dark circles under their eyes. If all of these are true, then this would explain why your child has dark circles under his eyes.

3. Reasons for fair skin

In children with lighter skin, their dark circles tend to appear more noticeable than in children with normal skin tones. In this case, there is no need to be nervous, as your child's dark circles are not related to any health problems.

4. Not related to sleep

Many people think that dark circles are caused by staying up late at night. Staying up late does cause dark circles under the eyes. However, not all dark circles are caused by staying up late. Dark circles under the baby's eyes are generally not related to sleep time. Babies sleep more than ten hours a day, so dark circles caused by lack of sleep will generally not appear.
