Question
A premature baby was born before eight months and is now one month old. However, the baby does not respond to playful stimulation and seems not to be able to focus. Is there a vision problem? When can a premature baby usually see things?
Answer
Hello, we understand that the first year of life is a crucial period of growth for infants. Although your baby is premature, as long as proper nutritional supplementation is provided after birth, their growth rate can be consistent with that of full-term infants. Generally, the development of an infant’s vision will show significant improvement after they reach one year old. However, premature infants may be slightly behind full-term infants in their development and may have relatively weaker constitutions. The care of parents and the individual development of the baby will have an impact on this. It is recommended to closely monitor your baby’s growth and seek medical advice when necessary.
