Eye rings in the baby
Even babies can develop dark circles under the eyes. However, the cause does not always have to be a disease. Children have thinner skin around the eyes than adults.
If the skin type is also very light, the blood vessels can shimmer through the skin as dark circles around the eyes. Another harmless cause can be the genetic disposition to dark circles under the eyes. If there are many family members with dark circles in the family, a genetic cause is very likely.
However, the dark circles can also occur due to illness. If the baby is also suffering from an infection or gastro-enteritis, the development of dark circles around the eyes can indicate a lack of fluids. This should be taken into account, as in this case a fluid intake is important as a treatment.
Therefore, if there are additional symptoms that indicate an infection, advice should be sought from a paediatrician. Dark circles can also form around the eyes as a result of a cold, sniffles or allergies due to a blocked nose. The dark circles around the eyes can also indicate that babies do not get enough sleep. A regular daily rhythm is therefore already important for babies. Therefore, when forming conspicuous dark circles around the eyes, care should be taken to ensure that the baby gets enough sleep.
