When do babies start to see??

Babies are born with a full visual capacity to see objects and colors. However, newborns are extremely nearsighted (far away objects are blurry):

Newborns can see objects about 8-15 inches away quite sharply.Newborns prefer to look at faces over other shapes and objects and at round shapes with light and dark borders (such as your adoring eyes). So you're not imaging it when you see your baby fixate on your face and eyes, especially during a feeding, when your face is about a foot away.

As babies grow, vision improves so that by the end of 3 months they can recognize familiar faces even at a distance.
