Squinting baby: what you need to know

Your baby sometimes squints, and you're a little worried about it. Here are some answers to reassure you:

  • Before 4 months of age, a baby sees very blurred and distinguishes only two colors.
  • A strabismus in infants is often observed.
  • The eyes are not yet used to looking in the same direction.
  • If your baby continues to squint beyond 4 months, talk to your pediatrician, who will perform an eye exam.
  • Rehabilitation can help your baby's eyes stop squinting.
  • The earlier the squint is caught, the easier it will be to fix.

Hey mommas! What bottles are you all starting your newborn on? I’ve looked at so many I’ve gotten cross eyed

So, I went to my ultrasound. And the baby had legs cross? But she said she's 95 percent sure it's a girl. How often do you think the doctors are right?

My ultrasound lady guessed that I was having a girl at 12 weeks before my bloodwork came back, and low and behold, she jinxed me 😂

I paid for an ultrasound at 13w5d on 6/9 and they told me it was a girl. (Looked way different than my daughters at the same time of pregnancy) and then 2 days later got my DNA test back and I’m having a boy… 😂 This also happened to my friend. So it depends… mine had his back away and legs crossed also. Lol

Are my baby's eyes okay? I know that it's normal to go cross-eyed until 4 months of age but i worry something might be wrong. He is almost 3 and a half months.

I wouldn't worry at 3 months, maybe 3 years old.
