it is never a bad idea to share your concerns with baby's parents and see if they can pass along your concerns to the pediatrician. until 8 weeks of age we really don't expect babies to track with their eyes. he might spend some brief moments staring at a face or looking at patterns with bright colors or shadows. as the next few weeks come along i suspect that you will see him following your face or becoming more interested in watching a mobile. i hope that helps alleviate some of your worry. congratulations on the new grandson!
should i be worried because my month-old grandson rarely follows things with his eyes?
