Why does my baby go cross-eyed sometimes?

Hello!

Why do my baby’s eyes go cross-eyed sometimes, should I be worried at all? I seem to have seen other babies do this too.

This is normal as your baby’s muscles develop and strengthen and they learn to focus. It usually stops by the time they’re 4–6 months old. Strabismus, or a misalignment of the eyes, is common in newborns and babies, and it can occur in older kids as well.

They’re still learning how to focus properly – they’re probably just trying to look at something close to them!

I heard they can’t see far until a few months and they could be trying to focus. Certainly funny to see!

I can’t remember why but it is normal.
