Why isn't my 10-month-old making eye contact?

The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Complete absence of eye contact in a 10-month-old warrants attention. At this age, babies typically follow gazes, respond to their names, and mirror facial expressions.
Temporary reasons exist: your baby might be focused on a new skill, tired, or teething. However, if this persists and other signs appear (no response to their name, lack of imitation, disinterest in peers, actively avoiding eye contact), developmental assessment is important.
When to see a doctor:
- If it doesn't improve within a few days or continues to decrease
- If baby doesn't respond when called by name
- If other concerns exist (limited interest in objects, repetitive movements, reduced smiling)
At this stage, consulting your pediatrician or the nearest child development center is important. Early support is always most valuable.
