Two questions about a 6 week old's eyes

4 replies

Hello

  1. Sometimes my 6 week old falls asleep (perhaps, thinking about it, more when his head is to the side) with both eyes not quite closed, but not equally open - if that makes sense. One might be closed, the other open a crack; one might be half open, the other almost closed. Sometimes I gently close them. Is this normal?
  1. I've noticed that on one eyeball he has, what looks like, "cling film" - as if the eye ball is slightly creased. I can't tell whether something has got in his eye or is structural. Anybody shed some light?

Thanks

Not sure about 2, but my friend's DD always slept with either both eyes or just one slightly open. So I would say it's normal!
