The manual emphasizes that you must keep baby rear-facing at least until 20 lbs. and one year old. Is it safer to keep her rear-facing even longer? Mine just turned both milestones and she would prefer the view facing forward, but it just seems she is safer backward for a while yet. Does anyone have more specific information on this?

My son is 4 weeks old and still doesn’t really make eye contact or hold your gaze.

Most baby books say at 4 weeks old they can accomplish those tasks, but I’m not concerned.
My son was 2 1/2 weeks early which makes him a little later on some milestones.
And I know all babies develop at different times.

When did your baby start making eye contact, or tracking a toy or object with their eyes?
