How far can a baby see after 30 days? A diagram of the baby's vision development process

The baby's eyes are not open when he is born, and then he slowly opens his eyes. At the beginning, the world is all black and white, and the visibility is only within 30 cm. As he develops, he will be able to see farther, the colors will become richer, and the details will be clearer. So how far can a baby who is 30 days old see?

How far can a baby see after 30 days?

The farthest object that can be seen is about 91.4 cm.

After the baby is born from the mother's belly and comes into contact with this world, he likes to stare at objects. Careful mothers will find that newborn babies like to stare at objects 20.3-38.1 cm away from him. Gradually, they will learn to follow the movement of objects with their eyes, and then as the baby grows, the baby's vision ability will become stronger and stronger. Usually when the baby is one month old, he can see objects as far as about 91.4 cm away.

Appendix: Baby's vision development within one month

1. The visual acuity of a baby within one week after birth is 0.01-0.02;

2. After 2 weeks, you can sense light half a meter away;

3. The vision of a one-month-old baby is about 0.05-0.1, and can see a distance of about 1 meter.

4. Within three months, the eyes will not look at only one place but will be attracted by faces, light or moving objects.

What colors can babies see after 30 days of birth?

The only colors a baby can see at 30 days old are black and white. After a baby is one month old, the colors he sees are black and white, just like the black and white movies we have seen before. Mothers will find that babies like to look at patterns with strong contrast, especially black and white stripes, concentric circles, and checkerboards.

How to let your baby see others clearly within 30 days after birth

Try to get as close to the baby as possible, and the distance should be about 25 cm to see clearly. If you want the baby born 30 days ago to be able to see others clearly, then others need to get close to the baby, about 25 cm away from the baby's eyes to see clearly. Usually when you hold the baby, he can basically see you clearly!

Doing these can promote the vision development of full-month babies

1. Look at black and white photos of your parents

Parents can prepare some black-and-white photos of their parents and black-and-white cards for their babies to identify, which can promote the baby's vision development.

2. Hang a colorful bed hanging

In order to promote the baby's visual development, you can hang some colorful bed hangings around the baby's crib.

3. Look at the black, white and red cards

Newborn babies are more sensitive to black, white and red. Some regular and contrasting patterns can attract babies' attention, such as black and white grids, black and white stripes, and concentric circles, which can promote babies' visual discrimination ability.

4. Do tracking training

When the baby is 30 days old, parents can train the baby to do tracking training every day. The method is: put the ball about 20 cm away from the baby for the baby to look at, and then slowly move it so that the baby's eyes follow the movement of the ball. This training can also train the baby's attention.

5. Get enough sleep

The development of vision is inseparable from adequate sleep. A good sleep is very helpful for improving the baby's vision. Parents should pay attention to feeding and not let the baby go hungry. If the baby has wet urine or defecates, the feeding bottle should be changed in time. In addition, it is also important to provide the baby with a comfortable and quiet sleeping environment.

Diagram of baby's vision development within 1 year old

Some time ago, an authoritative British media published a popular science article written by ophthalmologist Romesh Angunawela about the development of infant vision after birth. A series of pictures were used to show the development of vision from birth to 12 months. Mothers can use this data to understand the changes in their baby's vision development within 1 year old.

First Month

The world of babies around one month old is in black and white, and their vision is very blurry. They can only focus on 20-30 cm in front of their eyes. At this time, they can't really distinguish people's faces, and they see their parents in a blurry black and white.

Second month

The first color that appears in the world of a 2-month-old baby is red. At this time, the baby's vision is about 0.1. If you wear red clothes in front of the baby during this period, they can sense it!

Third month

The visual acuity of a baby around 3 months old can reach about 0.1-0.2, but the visual field at this time can almost reach 180 degrees! The baby at this time can almost see the mother's face clearly.

Fourth month

The vision of a baby around 4 months old is about 0.2-0.5. At this time, the baby's vision can almost reach the position of the father who is a little further away in the picture, and the hand-eye coordination begins. The baby can see his own hands and has the consciousness to touch the objects he sees with his hands.

Fifth month

The 5-month-old baby can see the toys and his father's figure around him, and can distinguish more and more colors. His mother's face is clear enough!

Sixth month

Not only can I see my mom, but I can also see my dad a little more clearly.

Seventh month

The 7-month-old baby can see his father’s face more clearly.

Eighth month

Mom and dad can see the baby clearly at 8 months old.

Ninth month

Babies aged 6-9 months can not only distinguish more colors, but also see the details of the surrounding objects. They can basically see their father's face clearly. The distance and range of vision have been greatly improved!

Tenth month

A 10-month-old baby can slowly see things on the wall behind his father.

Eleventh month

The world of a baby around 11 months old is already quite rich!

12th month

The vision of a 12-month-old baby has already developed very well. He can see everything in front of him and distinguish all colors. What he can see in this room is almost the same as that of an adult.

What changes will happen to your baby after one month?

1. Sleep and feeding are regular

From birth to one month old, babies grow a lot and learn a lot. The biggest change is that they sleep and eat regularly. The specific manifestations are:

(1) After 3 days, the baby has initially formed his own sleeping, feeding and defecation rules and habits. Some babies can sleep for 4 to 6 hours at night.

(2) However, there are great differences between babies. Some babies need their mothers to feed them 2-3 times at night. In particular, breastfed babies have short feeding intervals.

(3) Because breast milk is easier to digest, babies who are breastfed have more bowel movements than babies who are fed milk and require more care from their mothers.

2. Can recognize mother's voice and smell

After one month, the baby can also distinguish the mother's voice and smell. At this time, the baby can distinguish the mother's voice and smell. Even if the mother is not in front of him, as long as he hears the mother's voice, the baby will show excitement. The specific manifestations are:

(1) If a baby is crying because of loneliness and boredom, he will quickly calm down when he hears his mother’s voice.

(2) If you have done prenatal education for your baby, try playing the music or stories that your baby often listened to during the fetal period. Your baby will most likely have a noticeable reaction.

3. Ability to identify the source of sound

After one month, the baby can also determine the source of the sound and will turn his eyes or head according to the direction of the sound.

(1) The baby is now able to determine the source of sound. When hearing sounds coming from different directions, the baby's head will turn in that direction.

(2) However, the distance of the sound should not be too far, and should be within 50 cm. The baby's eyes can now see people and objects at close range, and the eyes will follow the objects in front of them horizontally;

(3) They particularly like to look at pictures with thicker lines, simpler patterns, and brighter colors, especially those of human faces.

4. Weight gain and height growth

After the baby is one month old, compared with the previous few weeks, the baby has made significant progress and looks more lovable. The specific manifestations are: (1) The average weight of a one-month-old baby is 4.9 kg for boys and 4.6 kg for girls;

(2) The average height of a one-month-old baby is 56.6 cm for boys and 55.6 cm for girls.

5. Bowel movements have become more regular

After a baby is one month old, his metabolism will become more regular, because his feeding and sleeping will gradually become regular, so his bowel movements will also become normal. Specifically, after a baby is one month old, he will defecate about 3 times a day and urinate about 15 times.

6. Gradually coordinate movements

After one month, the baby's neck strength has been strengthened. He can lie on the bed or on the adult's chest, with the abdomen as support, lift his head slightly for a while, and even turn his head left and right.

(1) If you hold your baby in your arms or let him sit on you, he can keep his head upright for a while, but not for too long to avoid tiring him. His arms and legs are more coordinated, which means he has improved his ability to control his muscles.

(2) When the baby is one month old, he can raise his head while lying on his stomach, with his chin off the bed for three seconds; he can focus on moving objects in front of him; he will be quiet when he hears the sound of crying; he can make sounds other than crying; he can hold a pen tightly with both hands; and he can open his mouth and imitate speaking.
