Because the baby is still relatively small, brain development is not perfect, nerve control of muscles is not strong, and eye closure is mainly through neuromuscular control, resulting in orbicularis oculi muscle contraction, baby sleep will present semi-closed eyes state, as long as the baby does not cry red symptoms, do not need special treatment, will increase with the baby's age, brain nerve development gradually perfect, slowly improve.
