What do babies see?
Parents often wonder what newborn babies see and how does their vision develop? Unlike the other senses, sight is the last to fully develop and this occurs during the first twelve months of life. Let's see how the sight of newborns develops.
What do babies see, developing up to 12 months?
At birth, newborns' vision is very blurry, what do newborns from 0 to 6 weeks see? Babies can only see about 20-30cm in front of them, which is the distance between the face of the mother and the baby when nursing or cuddling. Babies still can't see much color and prefer high contrast. Between 6 and 12 weeks, the newborn begins to recognize more colors and can see up to 60 cm, the vision is still rather blurry but less and less contrast is needed for stimulation. The baby's eyes begin to move in a more coordinated way, in these weeks they are able to focus and follow a moving object. Between 3 and 4 months the baby's vision improves and develops rapidly, they begin to see further and begin to recognize objects and faces, in this period their vision is about 20/40. Between 6 and 12 months the last step in the development of vision takes place, now what do newborns see? In this range, the child has fully developed vision, by the time it reaches eight months, both the final eye color and the child's visual capacity equal to that of an adult is achieved.
