My baby is one month old. He suddenly rolled his eyes upward for about 5-6 seconds when he fell asleep after feeding today, and the corner of his mouth turned up like he was smiling. What is going on? Recently, I noticed that my baby always rolls his eyes without warning. When he is having fun, he suddenly stops and rolls his eyes, and then resumes playing after a few seconds. What is going on? It looks scary. Should I take her to the hospital for a check-up? The baby rolling his eyes must have scared a lot of mommies, right? Some parents who don\’t know the reason roll their eyes when they see their baby, and take the baby to the hospital. But do you know? Rolling your eyes is also divided into normal and abnormal. Below, I’ll teach you how to identify it! Why do babies roll their eyes? 1 If you are tired, you must know that the baby\’s nervous system and various organs of the body are not fully developed, so they will make some small movements involuntarily. Therefore, when the baby feels tired, he will want to sleep, his eyes will move upward anxiously, and his eyelids will have to \”slowly beat\”, which will cause him to roll his eyes. 2 I’m not asleep yet but the baby is asleep, so why are they still rolling their eyes? Although you see your baby sleeping, sleep can be divided into deep sleep and light sleep. When the baby is in a light sleep that seems to be sleeping but not asleep, in order to achieve the purpose of sleeping, it will roll its eyes, grin and shake. Parents, don’t worry too much. This situation will naturally get better when the baby is older. . 3. Imperfect development. If the baby is awake when he rolls his eyes and the duration is very short, this situation is mostly caused by the imperfect development of the eyelid muscles. This problem will gradually get better, so parents don\’t have to worry. In addition to rolling his eyes, the baby will also stick out his tongue and blow bubbles. In general, rolling eyes is a very common and normal phenomenon for newborn babies, and parents should not worry too much. Whether it is rolling your eyes, grunting, laughing suddenly, waking up, or shaking, it is all related to the organs that have not yet developed. However, if your baby frequently rolls his eyes, is accompanied by body twitching, sweating, fever, or is usually grumpy and irritable, this is not just a simple physiological phenomenon. Especially if the baby rolls his eyes when he is awake, it may be a sign that the baby has other diseases. You should seek medical treatment promptly and conduct a physical examination on your baby\’s growth, development and physical health. If the following three situations occur, be sure not to be careless>>>> Convulsions refer to the phenomenon of local or general convulsions in the baby\’s body. The onset is generally sudden. The main symptom is rolling of the eyes. Neonatal convulsions can be caused by a variety of conditions, the most common of which is high fever. Children usually have severe facial or hand twitching symptoms, accompanied by eye rolling, squinting or straight eyes. >>>>Epilepsy Epilepsy, commonly known as convulsions, usually occurs within one month after the baby is born. One of the symptoms is that the eyes turn up. Common causes of epilepsy include genetics, brain infection, congenital diseases, brain trauma, etc. If you find that the child is rolling his eyes and moving his hands and feet wildly, as if swimming, or his feet are making movements similar to pedaling,Neonatal epilepsy should be considered when the child makes car movements or has swallowing or chewing behaviors in the mouth. >>>>Nervous defects If the baby still rolls his eyes after a few months, especially after 6 months, even if there are no other abnormalities in the body, he still needs to seek medical examination to rule out whether there is a defect in the cranial nervous system. If the calcium content in the newborn\’s blood is too low, it will lead to abnormalities in the newborn\’s nervous system, excessive muscle excitability, and muscle spasms. In addition to the symptoms of rolling eyes, the baby will also have external manifestations such as bad temper and irritability. Therefore, it is recommended that babies 15 days after birth should supplement vitamin AD in time to promote the absorption of calcium in breast milk and milk powder. However, if the baby\’s calcium deficiency is not serious, parents should not blindly supplement the baby with calcium. Excessive calcium supplementation will also affect the baby\’s normal growth.
