POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy8 months agoA. It's normal for a 2-month-old baby to have occasional cross-eyed or squinting behavior, as their eye muscles are still developing, and they are learning to coordinate their vision. Most babies outgrow this by 4 to 6 months as their eye muscles strengthen and vision improves.
What You Can Do:
1. Monitor Over Time: Observe if the squinting reduces as your baby grows. Occasional misalignment is normal at this stage.
2. Stimulate Visual Development: Use brightly colored toys or objects to encourage your baby to focus and track movement.
When to See a Doctor:
If the squint persists consistently beyond 4–6 months.
If one eye seems to turn inward, outward, upward, or downward most of the time.
If your baby’s eyes don’t follow objects or respond to light.
Eye drops are generally not used to treat squinting in infants. If the problem persists, consult a pediatrician or pediatric ophthalmologist for proper evaluation and guidance.
