I've made a GP appointment about this, but my surgery is crazily busy, so it's not for a fortnight, and I'm worried.
I'm not entirely sure, because he's so active that it's difficult to get him to look straight at me for more than a second, but my 7.5 month old baby's left eye doesn't always seem to follow his right exactly, giving him at times a slightly cross-eyed look. I only started to notice this recently, and my DH says he doesn't see it at all, and that I'm imagining it.
I know crossed eyes are common in younger babies, but should it have cleared up by the time a child is seven months?
I also know there is a thing called pseudostrabismus caused by babies having wide bridges on their noses - he does have a wide bridge and wide-set eyes.
Any thoughts or experiences?
