No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, some babies may seem to have a slight squint in the early stages of their birth, sometimes appearing as if they are "cross-eyed." What could be the reason for this? It turns out that during the first few months after birth, a baby's eye muscles, especially those that regulate eye movement, are not yet fully developed. Their ability to coordinate eye movements between both eyes is relatively poor. Additionally, babies are usually very accustomed to observing their surroundings with deep, focused gazes and interacting with their parents.
