Newborns’ Eyesight Development

Newborns don’t have fully developed

vision

They are seeing black

and white and can’t focus yet

It often takes several months

before eyesight is fully developed

But your child’s vision health starts before that

Don’t Smoke During Pregnancy

You've heard it before, but poor vision health

is a possible side-effect of smoking during pregnancy

As your baby’s vision improves they can make out their mother’s face

and have a strong affinity for it

So try not to change your appearance

The ability to distinguish color and light is developed from month one to month three

Best practice is to add bright colors to their room and place

them on their belly when you are supervising

Month Six

Overall vision is near established including ability to distinguish

colors and light
