For those in the most extreme percentiles, the odds were up to ten times higher.

Why Do Babies Blink Less Than Adults? Babies blink far less than adults, typically about 2 to 3 times per minute compared with roughly 14 to 17 times per minute in adults at rest. This difference comes from a mix of factors: babies have smaller eyes with less exposed surface to keep moist, their neural control of spontaneous blinking is still developing, and sustained visual attention can temporarily suppress blinks.

Babies blink just 2-3 times a minute, way less than adults. What's going on with dopamine, attention, and tear film in tiny eyes? Surprised by that number? #blinking #dopamine #EyeHealth #InfantDevelopment #TearFilm
