When is a baby able to see?

A baby's vision develops gradually over the first few months of life. Here's a general timeline:

* Birth: Babies can see blurry shapes and light, but their vision is very limited. They can also track movement.

* 1 month: Babies start to focus on objects up close. They can distinguish between light and dark, and they're attracted to high-contrast patterns.

* 2 months: Vision improves significantly. Babies can now follow moving objects with their eyes.

* 3-4 months: Color vision starts to develop. Babies begin to see a wider range of colors, including bright reds and blues.

* 4-6 months: Babies have developed near-adult vision. They can see most colors clearly and their depth perception is improving.

* 6-12 months: Vision continues to refine, including the ability to focus at different distances and track objects smoothly.

It's important to note that these are just general guidelines. Every baby develops at their own pace. If you have any concerns about your baby's vision, consult with your pediatrician.
