We learnt last night in our classes that 80% of babies are born cross eyed.
The eyes take a little time to straighten due to the muscles
Just ask your doctor for their opinion

We had the same thing, and i was worried. My dr said it can be normal for newborns, but if I'm still worried at 4-6 months to let him know... it fixed itself and i hadn't even thought of it until I saw the title of this post Hope its nothing but I'd mention it next time if its still worrying you, just so they can note it down.
millie was the same!! we were told as long as it corrects itself by 12 weeks then its not a problem, otherwise she may have had to have a patch over one eyes, its due to weak muscles!
shes fine now at 16 weeks
Thanks everyone. I just got back from my 6 week post partum check up with the GP and asked him. He said she was fine and not to worry til 3-4 months. I must have sounded like an obsessed worried first time parent LOL.
