What Causes Occasional Rapid Blinking Episodes In A Newborn?

My newborn grandson does rapid bliking, only occassional episodes, he did this as soon as he was born in the delivery room, i thought this was normal but now he is 2 weeks old and he is still does it, the only other sign with the blinking is tachycadia and some times he feels a bit stif. Everything else is within normal ranges.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, what the history given here for eye blinking could be normal one and it is nothing to worry just to clear the doubt ophthalmic opinion can be taken, it is not being given the heart rate so can be said tachycardia because it may not be like that, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
I find this answer helpful
