During the first few weeks babies eyes seem to go haywire because the baby is learning how to use them. it's just like how his/her arms or legs just splay wherever. the baby is trying to learn how to control them. If your baby's eyes look that way by the 3rd month then it's a concern, but he/she is still getting used to controlling their eyes. right now you can help him/her out by giving your baby ';back time'; where he/she can look up at attempt to reach for objects (baby gym) these develop eye development and hand-eye coordination.My two month old baby's left eye seems to look crossed, does this mean that my baby has crossed-eye?
i worried about the SAME thing! our pediatrician told me that all babies have weak eye muscle control and that i would see a gradual change. the pediatrician said if our son was still doing a bunch of cross eyed things at 6 months they would have me consult with an Opthmologist BUT, he's 4 months old now and NEVER looks cross eyed- EVER!
Just to be safe you should ask your doctor about it. My eyes started crossing when I was 3 years old and since my parents were poor in my country, I never saw the doctor for it until I moved here at age 12.
I don't have a major vision problem but I am still cross eyed and I probably wouldn't have his condition if I had seen a doctor earlier.
It's possible the baby has a lazy eye but at 2 months it might be hard to tell as they don't focus that well yet. I would bring it up at the next dr. appt.
