Tip #2. Bonding is as simple as seeing eye to eye
Research says: frequent eye contact is a key indicator of a baby who's gaining confidence. In adults, making direct eye contact is a sign of security and engagement. This is no different for your infant. As the bond between you and your baby grows, you may notice that she gazes at you more often, which is a sign of her growing trust and confidence in you.

So it's perfectly healthy and normal for her to break her gazes from time to time, in order for her to understand what she's taking in.
