8 weeks old and no eye contact

Hi all,

I have an 8 week old baby and I’m really worried because he isn’t making any eye contact. He looks at the wall, ceiling etc. and actively avoids eye contact with me and my husband. I’ve read that babies should make eye contact sooner than this. My baby does smile though when I smile at him, but even then he looks at my mouth. He likes to look at black & white pictures.

Did someone experience the same with their baby and how did it turn out?
