Normal : Babies can have wandering eyes and crossed eyes as they mature. Observe her when she is playing with something and in the distance. The eyes should be in alignment ( by 4 months of age) but can become crossed or wander when she is tired or inattentive. If they are becoming more crossed or wandering then tell your pediatrician and get an eye exam by an pediatric ophthalmologist.

If both eyes turn : Out intermittently, seek referral to a pediatric ophthalmologist. Take a snapshot or video of her eyes when they wander to show her doctor. If one eye has blurred vision, she can develop amblyopia, or " lazy eye. If she has small, rhythmic movements (like brushing her hand against her hair ) during a blank stare, ask about referral to a child neurologist to rule out minor motor seizures.
