Strabismus: Children can commonly have their eyes lose alignment. Something that is routinely checked for during well child visits is the problem of strabismus, and lazy eye. Tis is an important thing to get checked out right away, as her vision may be at risk if a diagnosis is not made and treatment addressed.

Esotropia: The turning in of an eye can develop when one of the alignment muscles of the eye weakens. A false "turning in appearance" can occur if baby has a pronounced nasal root & you see the eyes from the side. Alignment is best assessed head on. If a head on assessment notes recurrent turning in an evaluation by your pcp/pediatrician is warranted for confirmation & initiation of further study & rx.

See Eye MD: This is the typical age for accommodative esotropia. What that means is your daughter needs to see an ophthalmologist for evaluation and management.
