babies eyes dont begin to focus until theyre in their third month. After that point you should begin to worry. Although you can mention it to your doctor now if it will make you feel better.

My babies eyes were like that until she was about 3 months. I remember looking at her and getting so worried. The Dr. told me that sometimes the muscles of the eyes are still developing after birth and not to worry. By 3 months she was starting to focus better. Her's weren't only crossed they were all over the place.

Occasionaly Crossing eyes until end of 3 months is normal. If done more of the time then not then you should have child looked at. The site is from the CDC and they explain when to worry and what should be done
My son had one eye that would travel out to left he had this getting progressively worse and at age 4 he had surgery to fix the problem now you would never know it he is almost 6. His eye was so bad people we didn't know would comment.

My daughter did that alot don't freak out they just can't foucs yet it is so normal. My daughter is 11 months old and sometimes I'll catch her crossing her eyes, but it only happens when she is really looking at something hard. Did you know your baby can't see in color untill they are 6 months old or three months old so many people have told me all kinds of ages. But don't feak your little sweet girl is normal good luck and congrats

I wouldn't worry about it just yet. At six months, I would start to wonder, but until then I think you are fine. If you really want to know, make an appt with the pediatrician.

This is called strabismus and sometimes it gets worst. If it's very severe, you may want to see your pediatrician right away so that it doesn't bad.
Here's a great advice from someone who have gone through this. http://www.minti.com/parenting-advice/73/Lazy-Eye-Strabismus-or-Squint/?highlight=strabismus This advice is from MINTI - a parenting website.

o.k take her to your doctor first of all and have it checked, if you are not happy with what you are told you have the right to a free check for them at any optictions, if there is a problem it needs to be found a.s.a.p so that it can be corrected, this way there would be no need for glasses in later life.

yes my grandson had a lazy eye until 14months he is 4yrs now and fine,sometimes if it doesnt correct itself they will cover the good eye for a few months and this strengthens the weak eye,but dont worry i am sure she will be fine

You should see an ophthalmologist to see if it is strabismus, which may require a simple operation to fix. I don't know at what age doctors do that operation.
