Hi there,
I'm a first time Mum so not sure if this is normal or not. I have an 8wo DS who will not make eye contact with me at all (or with anyone else). He spends all his time staring at weird things like a blank space on the wall. I have tried putting my face in his eye line but he seems to be deliberately avoiding eye contact. Very occasionally he'll look me in the eye but he'll look away straight away. Is this normal? I've seen other babies just gaze at their parent's faces for ages.
