Viewing things

Even though your baby can see at birth, his vision isn’t what you might consider normal. The newborn had the ability to see shapes and your face when it was in close range. At this point your baby could only see 8 to 10 inches away. 

As he reached 3-months, he started to track objects that move with his eyes. By 5 months, his color vision is better developed and his eyes focus well enough to see in three dimensions. This means that he has the depth perception to reach and grab at his toys or other objects.

To
develop your baby's sense of sight, play with the little one the following game: sit close to your baby, make an eye contact with the little one, let him/her view your face. Then tilt slowly your head to the right, to the left - the baby will also turn the head, trying to focus the eyes on your eyes or smile.

You can offer your baby to view contrast things and patterns, moving them slowly back and forth.

Make photos of your baby viewing the things around, upload to the App. Write about his/her new skills.
