When does your child start seeing?

A newborn child is born with the ability to see. But like anyone appearing from the darkness, he blinks from the bright light.

Therefore, in the first days of a small person's life it is desirable to reduce the brightness of light. In addition, the baby can have a little swollen eyelids. This temporary phenomenon is caused by the passage through the birth canal. In this regard, the newborn in the first hours sees this world as vague. But it happens that a child born immediately after birth looks with opened eyes.

For several days the newborn only occasionally opens his eyes and then for a short while - this is quite normal. The baby begins to see from birth, but can more clearly view objects from a distance of 20-25 centimeters. And this is exactly the distance between the eyes of the mother and the baby during breastfeeding. If you can not wait to get in touch with the baby, catch the moment when his eyes are wide open and approach him at a distance of 20-25 cm.
