eye contact

I have a 3 month old and just wondering if anyone experienced this. She makes great eye contact when people are in front of her. She smiles and babbles. She looks at people as they walk in the room. If I am holding her she will avoid eye contact. Do you think I should be concerned?

TIA

Re: eye contact

Here's an excerpt from an article on eye contact in older infants (3-6 months):

As babies get a few months older, they can see better, and they also begin to use their eyes in a way that gives signals to an adult. For example, suppose you are playing with a baby and the baby gets tired, or maybe you have just come on a little too strong and been too stimulating. The baby turns the gaze away from your face, gets quiet for a moment, and just withdraws to have a little rest. The averted gaze works to tell a sensitive adult that the baby needs to back off for a bit. Then, rested up, the baby looks back at your eyes, smiles, and shows readiness to play some more. This slightly older baby gazes at the adult sometimes, but has the mature capacity to be able to stop looking. A baby who gazed at its caregiver's eyes a great deal of the time would not be showing the level of development we would expect by 3-6 months of age.
