Is It Normal for a 2-Month-Old Baby to Not Follow Objects and Sounds with Their Eyes, and to Have Poor Hearing, with a Soft Cry and Only Making Ah-Ah Sounds?

Question

The baby is almost two months old. The eyes don’t follow objects or sounds. The ears aren’t very responsive either. The cry is soft, and the baby only makes ah-ah sounds. Is this normal?

Answer

As the baby approaches two months old, it’s advisable to check their hearing and vision. If everything is normal, there’s no cause for concern. The baby’s soft cry and other symptoms should also be carefully examined to rule out brain hypoxia.
