Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi

If I have got it right, your kid is just born and 1.6 hours old.

Relax. New borns see things which are just a foot away.
They do not fix their vision on objects like a bigger baby does.

By about 3 months of age, they will start fixing both the eyes together. Till then they can look at different directions with both their eyes.

What you need to do now is- to love her, feed her and cuddle her.
Hope I have answered your query.
Happy parenting.
