How to tell if your baby’s visual development is normal?

At 3 months old, your baby’s vision will change dramatically. His eyes became more coordinated, both eyes could move and focus at the same time, and he could see more vivid or moving objects in the distance. You can even find out that babies sometimes stare at advertisements that are colourful and attractive. So how to judge whether the baby’s visual development is normal?

How to tell if your baby’s visual development is normal?

1. Mobile toys

Hang 2-3 colourful (red, green, blue, yellow) toys, such as rings, bells or balls, on the crib fence. Touch or swing these toys in front of your baby to attract them. After your baby focuses on the toy, you move the toy while shaking (180 degrees horizontally, 90 degrees vertically) to see if the baby’s sight will follow the direction of the toy.

Judging criteria：

Generally, a baby more than two months sees colourful and shaking toys, his eyes will stare, and his gaze will follow the direction of the moving objects.

2.    People walking around

Walk around the crib. You can walk towards the baby and then walk away. Observe if his eyes are following you.

Judging criteria：

Generally, babies stare at people and look for their mothers. If your baby still can’t do it, don’t worry too much, it may be because he is too tired.

Remarks：

Some parents will be anxious: “Why won’t my baby do this?”

Don’t worry, all babies go through all stages. If you have doubts about your baby’s visual development or if your baby’s visual development is significantly slower than that of a child of the same age, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor on the matter.
