seven month old with possible crossed eye/lazy eye/squint?

[Peevish]

I've made a GP appointment about this, but my surgery is crazily busy, so it's not for a fortnight, and I'm worried.

I'm not entirely sure, because he's so active that it's difficult to get him to look straight at me for more than a second, but my 7.5 month old baby's left eye doesn't always seem to follow his right exactly, giving him at times a slightly cross-eyed look. I only started to notice this recently, and my DH says he doesn't see it at all, and that I'm imagining it.

I know crossed eyes are common in younger babies, but should it have cleared up by the time a child is seven months?

I also know there is a thing called pseudostrabismus caused by babies having wide bridges on their noses - he does have a wide bridge and wide-set eyes.

Any thoughts or experiences?

No, it's perfectly normal at this age, and fact sometimes older. We were concerned about DD having what appeared to be a lazy eye at 20m or thereabouts but the GP reassured us and also sent us to the eye clinic to be on the safe side - it was all fine and now she's 3.6 and there's no hint of it.

We were worried about this an we're referred for checks.

Turned out it was something called pseudo-squint which essentially happens when a child's face is kind of making it look like they have a squint when actually they don't at all.

DD is 21 months now and her face shape has really changed and it's not visible at all.
