Yes, it is normal for babies to have big eyes.
Babies often appear to have large eyes due to their developmental stage. Here's why:
- Head-Down Development: Normal infant development proceeds from the head down.
- Eye Size: Newborn babies' eyes are already about 70% of their adult size.
- Continued Growth: Their eyes will continue to grow and develop for the first two years of life.
In simpler terms, babies' heads are proportionally larger compared to their bodies, and their eyes are already quite developed at birth. This combination makes their eyes look noticeably bigger.
