Babies are NOT blind at birth -they are just extremely nearsighted. Therefor,
the thing they see best is something like their mother's face at a close
distance. (Haven't these doctors seen a baby blink with bright lights?).
Don't have more references handy at present but let the ddoctors try to see
with eye ointment in their eyes.
