Your Baby & Toddler

IF YOUR NEWBORN LOOKS INTO A MIRROR HE WILL DEVELOP A SQUINT

-

At birth your baby is able to focus on objects at a distance of at least 20cm away. Beyond this he can detect light, colours and shapes but it’s all a bit blurry for now. You may notice your baby’s eyes may not function as a team, seem misaligned or squint. It takes at least three months for your child’s eyes to align properly. If the squint persists, seek medical advice.
