Rub Eyes

Just wondering if it is normal that my LO will be rubbing her eyes quite often? Need to see a doc for that?

Hey, It is just normal for the baby to rub eyes as they are feeling sleepy but if it is getting too frequent then better to see the PD as the baby’s eye might be itchy

Quite normal bit if her eyes are teary or she feels uncomfortable best to bring her to the pediatrician

That’s a common sleepy cue. How old is your LO and how long do you keep her awake for?

My LO does that too when she wakes up:) Then after she’s more alert, she won’t rub her eyes for some time. And when she’s tired again, she’ll rub again and start fussing.

If baby’s just sleepy, should be ok as it’s natural reflex.
