My baby is 5 weeks old. Aradhaya opens right eye more than the left one , even while sleeping she her right eye remains slightly open. But there is nothing like she does this all the time. she opens her both eyes as well. So is this matter of concern or it is normal .

A. this common at this age because it is due to the weakness in the muscles of the eyes and with the increasing age of the child the muscles will have proper power and then the child will be able to move the eyelids uniformly
