Detailed explanation-1: -What Can My Baby See? Your baby sees things best from 8 to 12 inches away. This is the perfect distance for gazing up into the eyes of mom or dad (a favorite thing to do!). Any farther than that, and newborns see mostly blurry shapes because they’re nearsighted.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the first week of life, your baby’s vision will be blurry. She will see shades of gray instead of colors. By about the end of the first month, she should be able to see color.

Detailed explanation-3: -Birth to 4 months Their primary focus is on objects 8 to 10 inches from their face or the distance to the parent’s face.

Detailed explanation-4: -When a baby is born, his or her eyes are about 65% of their adult size. One week after birth the baby can see colors and can see about 8-10 inches away.

All sorts of interesting things are now in view: your hair, earrings, scarf, grandma’s glasses-as well as their toys.
