Fixation problem
I delivered twins at 36 weeks. My son , now 52 days old (36 weeker ,birth weight was 2.2 and no nicu stay )is fixing only for a few seconds . Most of the time won't look at the face at all.But my preterm daughter started fixing and following light and started social smile also. Is it normal for my son ? Should I need to worry.Haven't done any eye check up yet.
