There could be 1001 reasons, lets not freak out first, and let the specialist handle it.

If you are unsatisfied, you can always go for 2nd opinion.

Ya I guess so...
This is my 3rd baby, I guess when u have the 2 elders to compare with, it adds more stress to me...

My family also questioning etc

In the beginning, I always thought that she is just being lazy as she doesnt really open her eyes after birth and then slept a lot...
ie no attempt to be active etc

So, when the paed said she should be smiling intentionally already to us and making eye contacts,... it just gave me doubts and worries.

She is eating well and gaining weight well.. just not making eye contact and her head still wobbly ...

Every child is a gift... and all of them are unique in their own ways.

Just not worry too much, take things as they come along, no matter what is the outcome you are not going to love her any less right? Worrying about it will not change things for better or worse.

Yes. I would be concerned.

A lot of human interaction is hard wired into the brain.

Lacking something fundamental Makes one wonder a lot.

Don't be afraid to ask anything to the doctor to understand things better. You deserve to know

did you try to stimulate the visual by giving bright colored toys? neon green colored toys ought to help, it has the widest spectrum of color compare to any other colors.

I hope everything is going well with your girl.
