Newborns, infants often cross their eyes. Nothing to worry about unless the baby is doing it all the time and can not focus on anything. Enjoy your new one.

Yes, this is normal for a baby that age. We have some adorable pictures of our daughter cross-eyed when she was a few weeks old. As their eye muscles strengthen it will stop happening. Get a few cute pictures while you can - it won't happen for much longer!

Yes its normal. Especially if theyre very young. Or if theyre older and trying to look at something up close.
They dont know how or where to focus, so for the first few months they have that spaced out cross eyed gaze... lol. Part of being a newborn.

ROFL! It's perfectly fine. When my daughter was little, she'd always cross her eyes (for months). Everyone (family) scared me saying she had a lazy eye and would have to wear a patch. I was horrified! Turned out that she was fine. Now she does it on purpose! lol
Don't stress about it, take lots of pictures, they'll be fun to look at when he/she's grown out of it.

yes, my nephew is always looking at us cross-eyed, but the doctor said it's just because their eyes can't focus properly yet. dont worry, your baby is totally normal.
hope you have a safe and fun new year's!!!

Every baby goes through that stage. Since their fine moto skills aren't developing, they can't really control their eyes yet. It lasts only a few days or weeks.

For very young babies, it's very common. Their little eye muscles just can't point their eyes where they should be going yet. He'll outgrow it.

Apparently, that's normal cause they aren't focusing their eyes yet. It takes time to adjust to all that. I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary or uncommon.
