You have probably already learned that by rubbing the eyes, the baby says that it is "ready" for sleep. But have you asked why it does that?
Experts say that this reaction is the result of fatigue, because every part of the baby's body gets tired, including the eyes.
To reduce the tension in the eye muscles, she unconsciously begins to touch the eyelids and rub them, so adults try to help themselves with massage whenever something hurts.
Most parents then remove their hands, fearing that they will be hurt, but pediatricians say that this is a mistake, as long as the rubbing is not rough and does not last long, Telegrafi reports.
Instead of misleading them into this, mothers and fathers should "read" this as an appeal to go to bed.
If, however, the baby will not sleep, it can mean that by rubbing the eyes it sends a signal that something else is preventing it.
It is possible that dust or something else got into it, so it would have to be verified, so that friction does not complicate the situation even more.
Maybe he even "protests" because of the dry air in the room, which dried up his eye canals.
