Babies learn how to see after birth - some of it is hardwired but much is learnt. It's possible to rewire your own brain to see upside down by wearing glasses that invert the world. After about a week the world will appear normal. When you take the glasses off the world will be upside down! Seeing is just a function of the brain that can be rewired.

No, they do not see upside down. However, newborn babies don't see what adults see. It's more like being in a dark room wearing cloudy glasses. Newborn babies' vision is 40 times less accurate than adults at seeing fine details. Despite these limitations, newborns will move their eyes toward a pattern they can see and they even prefer some patterns over others. A baby will look at round shapes rather than squares. They also prefer simple patterns to more complex ones. For example, a checkerboard made up of large squares will capture a baby's attention for longer than one made of small squares. Infants are not frustrated by what they cannot see. On the contrary, their vision develops according to their ability to process images and light.

No, they don't see upside down. They just see a little blurry for a few weeks, like a near-sighted person.
