Why it helps

Trains eye muscles and early focus — your face is the best target.

How to do it

  1. Hold your baby 8–12 inches from your face during calm alert time
  2. Slowly move your face side to side
  3. Wait for the eyes to catch up — they may lag or cross at first, that's typical
Stop if you see

Stop when baby looks away or fusses — that's the full-tank signal.
