1. How long does it take for a newborn to see people?

Newborn babies can see things, but their vision is blurry. They can probably sense things that are 15 to 20 centimeters away, but not clearly. Although a baby can only see the face of the person holding him when he is born, as the baby grows month by month, the range he can see clearly will become larger and larger.

1 month: One week after birth, the baby's vision tends to be myopic. He can focus on objects 8 to 15 cm away and can follow moving objects with his eyes. By the time the baby is more than one month old, he or she can already see objects within 15-30 centimeters in front of him or her and can begin to look at objects.

2 months: The baby's visual concentration becomes more and more obvious, and he likes to look at moving objects and familiar adults' faces. Can focus on objects in a coordinated manner and distinguish colors, but cannot distinguish depth. The eyeballs can move with objects within a 90-degree range. When objects approach the eyes quickly, protective reflexes such as blinking will appear, and the child will focus on the hand for more than 5 seconds.

3-4 months: Able to fix the line of sight and see objects about 75cm away, with visual acuity of about 0.1. The duration of gaze is significantly prolonged, and the line of sight can follow moving objects. The baby is very sensitive to colors and has a preference for colors. He likes to see bright and vivid colors, especially red, and does not like to see dull colors. Their preferred colors are red, yellow, green, orange, blue, etc., and their favorite color is red.

5-6 months: The baby blinks more frequently and can accurately see objects in front of him. He will also pick them up and play with them in front of his eyes. Hang a rattle next to the cradle or crib, and when your baby accidentally touches the rattle, observe whether the sound draws his attention to an object somewhere. When the baby is over 6 months old, his eyes can follow moving objects up and down and turn 90 degrees. At this time, the baby's vision can reach 0.1, and he can focus on objects at a long distance, such as pedestrians and vehicles on the street.
