Baby Keep Rubbing Her Eyes Upon Awake

When our baby awake, she keep using both her clamped fists to rub her eyes. 1) Could we check if this behavior is normal? 2) How do we prevent baby from rubbing her eyes? 3) Do clamped fists mean baby is scared?

Rubbing eyes can be a sign of tiredness. It’s very normal behaviour:) you don’t need to prevent it. Just respond to it by letting baby rest. Clenched fists are also normal in newborns. The hands open up a lot more after 3 months. Nothing you need to do too:)
