In this article. Babies are born with a full visual capacity to see objects and colors. However, newborns are extremely nearsighted (far away objects are blurry): 1  Newborns can see objects about 8-15 inches away quite sharply. 2  Newborns prefer to look at faces over other shapes and objects and at round shapes with light and dark borders (such as your adoring eyes).
A great test of vision is just having some up-close and personal time with your baby, who by 4 to 6 weeks of age should be gazing intently into your eyes and mimicking your facial expressions. Open your mouth and stick your tongue out, and watch your baby do the same. By 3 months her vision is closer to 20/40. This means she can see almost everything in her field of vision. As a result, you'll notice your infant watch the world more and more intently with each passing day.
