Newborn question
How soon does a newborn open their eyes? Dd had hers open right after she was born but wasnt sure if thats normal. At what point would there be concern?

Right away. If they were crying their eyes were closed, but any time they calmed down they has their eyes open. I have pics of them in the delivery room with their eyes open.

All three of mine opened their eyes right away.
What's the concern- a newborn not opening their eyes?

Yeah I don't see what would be concerning about this. I think it's normal for them to have a very alert period right after birth. Both my girls had their eyes open right away, even my preemie who was just hanging on was wide awake right after birth.
