How many days does it take for a newborn’s eyes to open

There is no specific standard number of days for a newborn’s eyes to open, most newborns will open their eyes within 24 hours of birth, while a few may be later and may take about 2 to 3 days. Newborns open their eyes at different times due to individual differences, usually within 24 hours of birth. However, some newborns will open their eyes about 2 to 3 days after birth. In some cases, if the newborn’s eyes have too much secretion, parents need to wipe the area around the eyes with a towel to see the newborn’s eyes slowly open. Some newborns may open and close their eyes at the same time, which is mainly due to the high amount of fetal fat, and will be normal after the body surface is cleaned of fetal fat. In addition, it should be noted that if the newborn’s eyes open too late, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time for relevant examinations.
