My grandson always looks away from my eyes. My son did this also when he was an infant... I try to look in his eyes and he looks away and loves to stare at moving objects..

Newborns can't see depth and color as well as adults do. So, your eyes are not interesting, but your hairline is because of the color-contrast. The same with fans, or moving objects. The dark against the light background is what captures their attention.

Depending on age,most infants eyesight is still developing.
They can see lights and moving objects better than your face,but they will look at you if you wear glasses and light is being reflected off the lens. That's why they try to grab your glasses.

Yes, completely normal, he's just beginning to see. Our little guy did that and also had a fascination for ceiling fans. Even sometimes still he stares at the ceiling fan, and he's going on 4 years old!

When babies are first born, they really don't see very well. Probably your grandson can see the lights and the movement of the fan, but can't really register the features on your face yet.

Young infants don'f focus well......objects are usually out of focus for a short period after birth....a month or so...not sure exact amount of time.......their little eyes are drawn to sharp contrasts and movement

It is just a part of that particular developmental stage. Social development comes a little bit later. There are books that tell you what a baby should be doing at certain ages, and a lot of hospitals and pediatricians give those to new mothers.

their vision is still developing and they are learning to see. Their vision is not as sharp as ours and in a sense it is blurry until 8 to 11 months. Moving objects are easy to see even with poor vision.

It is "the moving object" that attracts his attention.
What I do and have always done is to look others square in the eyes when I correspond with them. - This normally keeps their attention (focus) on where I need it. I receive continual accolades in my teaching circles. Both the students and the teaching staff appreciate this about my style.

.no doubt, moving objects catch their eye, BUT,I'm surprised because our little girl loved to make eye contact with me and I supposed that all babies loved to make eye contact. I understood that it was one of their ways of bonding.
