one eye closed?

Unless its like that all of the time its probably just sleeping. How you could attribute that to a nutritional malady is beyond my understanding.

Neurological issues usually manifest through vitamin deficiencies.

That's interesting. What defienciency do you think would cause this?

I'm not really sure. This isn't very common. Could be Vitamin A. If their eyes work similarly to ours they may need the same type of Vitamins so it could be a lack of Beta Carotene. Problem with Vitamin A deficiency is they start to get Short Tongue Syndrome which is also caused by a lack of calcium at the same time.

I'm no expert so its hard to say. Seizures can cause the eyes to do something similar to this as well.

He does open it a little further when I wake him up, but there is still a difference. But then I sneaked up on him last night at 3 am, and both his eyes were wide open...

He is getting vitamins three times a week, should I supplement more often?

Multivitamins should be once a week and calcium with D3 three times a week. Too much of a good thing is just as bad as not enough.

oh ok, thanks, I thought babies needed to get it more often than once a week
