Stages in the baby's vision

Can you see my baby, how do you see during the first weeks? Is he able to recognize my face? These are very common questions among first-time parents, and that is because babies have spent 40 weeks in the semidarkness provided by the maternal womb, so we understand that it is not easy to adapt to the clarity and tonalities of their new surroundings. Moreover, in the same way that they still do not know how to walk or talk, they have to train their vision so that it reaches its maximum development.

Evolution of the baby's vision

When a baby is born, its vision is not fully developed, so it is important that all stages of development are given in an appropriate way so that visual skills are also developed accordingly. These are the stages in the baby's vision:

- The vision of the newborn baby is not clear, but blurred and still does not see in color, his vision is black and white.

- After 3 or 4 months he begins to distinguish faces, he begins to see reddish tones and little by little he will capture the rest of the colors. - It is between 6 and 10 months, with the crawling stage, when the development of binocular vision begins, that is, the use of both eyes at the same time. During the stage of the floor visual development is very important since it is when the child begins to get on all fours and begins to use the approach

and peripheral vision develops, because he or she just does not have to stand still in one place, it has to move and therefore has to use other skills and other resources to be able to function properly in their new environment. At this stage he also begins to develop eye-hand coordination and all these skills are completed at approximately 3-4 years. - The eyes move because we have many muscles and those muscles have to work in a coordinated and precise way, that development is completed over 5 or 6 years
