Baby's Developmental Milestones
Baby Milestone: Sight
Vision is one of the first milestones. At birth, your baby can only see things at a distance of between nine and 14 inches. By one month, vision increases to one to two feet and by three months, a baby can see between six and eight feet.
The best milestones for vision testing is to see if your baby gazes at you and whether they can track an object from side-to-side. You can assist your baby with the tracking skill by holding a bright object eight to 10 inches in front of his face. Slowly move the object back and forth to encourage your child to follow the item with his eyes.
