Avoiding eye contact

How much eye contact should a two week old be making with you? I’m trying not to worry but as a first time mum I have nothing to compare it to! I feel like my baby is avoiding eye contact, not all the time but a lot of the time. He is smiley but will often turn his head and smile at nothing or just randomly smile without anyone in front of him? Hoping it’s normal 🙏🏼

Mines been doing this from about 2 weeks and he’s now 12 weeks and still doing it 😅 so I hope it’s normal too he stares at the corner of the room and just smiles and giggles if I try and get his attention he looks around me 🙃

My baby gives eye contact but also stares at random things. Me and hubby keep saying she sees dead people 😂😂 xx

@Natalie me and my partner call them his ghost friends 🤣🤣

@Lauren 😂😂😂😂😂

my boy is nearly 12 weeks and when i hold him facing me he refuses to make eye contact but if someone else is holding him he’ll make eye contact and stare at me. same as if he’s in his bouncer he’ll stare laugh and smile at me. i think it’s completely normal

@Alicia this is the exact same as me haha when I’m holding her on my lap facing me I’m like hellooooo can not see me! But then as soon as someone else is holding her she’s like oh heyyyy 😂

Thanks everyone! I definitely feel better knowing I’m not the only one, I was also starting to wonder if he could see ghosts! 😂
