Have birthed baby, a week prior (normal, vaccum). At birth baby was checked by a pediatrician and was given all okay health wise. Baby opened only one eye other only partially mostly while reflex action (yawning, post sneezing). Day 3 @discharge - Dr said it is normal for a newborn to not open both eyes & would eventually do it. Daily there is some improvement, baby opens both eyes while feeding, yawning and short span both eyes are open during awake time. Rest awake time only one eye is Any parents with similar experience? By when did your child fully open both their eyes? Currently baby is 7 days old.
