My 6 month old daughter badly rubs her eyes when she is sleepy.. Which leaves red marks on the area she rubs. How can I make her stop doing so. Is there any smooth way of of leering the baby go sleep.

Hey, Perhaps, she suddenly becomes very sleepy and that is her sign of showing it. But, I think you should see her paediatrician as well and rule out the chances of having dry eyes. It is nothing to worry about. There is actually a tear film to protect the eye which sometimes evaporates when exposed to air for long time. This dryness irritates the baby and she rubs eyes as rubbing stimulates tears, which in turn brings the moisture back in the eyes. I mean, this may be the reason, you need to consult your doctor, else, babies have the habit their eyes in general. You can make the baby wear mittens so that she is not able to rub eyes as vigorously as she does. Or distract her by handing her a toy or you can hold her hands to move them backward forward.
