Cross eyes in 4 week old

Hi all,
Ds2 is 4 weeks old and I’ve noticed he often has a deep frown and appears cross eyed which is something I never experienced with ds1. When the midwife did his newborn sight check she had concerns but called a paediatrician who said all seemed fine.
He seems to track movements fine but slightly concerned as my grandad and dad both have glaucoma and my mum needed an operation as a child to fix a cross eye.
If anyone has any advice or experience would greatly appreciate it :)

We thought our ds had a squint and he got referred from the gp and it was pretty quick to get a hospital appointment. We were pretty worried because of family history too. A useful thing the doctor said was to take a picture of their eyes and see if the reflections are in the same place in the eye. If they're in the same place then she said there's no squint. I never thought of that! Maybe get the gp to refer you either way to double check everything :)
