Is it safe if baby sleep with partial eye closure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely normal!: Many children and adults sleep with their eyes partially open/closed. If there is a very large opening, or significant irritation of the eye related to such, suggest seeing an ophthalmologist. Please take some photos and take along with you to show the doc your concern!
