He is not focusing with his eyes. He looks all ovrr, but doesn't maintain contact with anything for too long. He turns his head from side to side (left and right). He arches his back and seems to like looking at things over head. He is NEVER still unless he is sleeping. Even when trying to feed him, he seems to want to eat, but is constantly wriggling around. He is not sleeping well. Even with cereal in his bottle, the most he will sleep is 4 hours at a time. He was 1 month premature, so I don't know if I'm just expecting too much too soon or what. When he does look at me, one eye seems to look directly at me while the other is not on me but sort of drifting. Is any of this related to autism? His doctor says the chance of anything being wrong is very remote because everything looks so normal, but I can't help but worry.
