Should I be concerned about my 3 month old baby she has poor eye contact?
It's important to remember that every baby develops at their own pace. However, there are some general milestones that most babies reach by certain ages. For example, most babies start to make eye contact with their parents or caregivers by around 2-3 months old.If your baby is 3 months old and not yet making eye contact with you, there are a few things you can do to help encourage eye contact.
First, make sure that you're holding your baby close and at eye level. Talk to your baby in a soothing voice and try to get their attention by making eye contact. You can also try to get their attention by playing with a toy or book in front of their face.
If your baby still does not make eye contact after a few weeks of trying these techniques, it's a good idea to talk to your doctor. There may be an underlying medical condition, such as a vision problem, that could be causing the problem.
Here are some additional tips for encouraging eye contact with your 3-month-old baby:
- Hold your baby close and face-to-face.
- Talk to your baby often.
- Make eye contact with your baby while playing.
- Use toys or books to get your baby's attention.
- Be patient and don't get discouraged if your baby doesn't make eye contact right away.
Most babies eventually start making eye contact with their parents or caregivers.
