‘I thought you knew’: Some factors affecting a baby's capacity to maintain eye contact

Abstract A baby's ability to maintain eye contact is discussed in terms of his own difficulties and in terms of trans‐generational factors. His constant crying, gaze avoidance and sleeping difficulties were problems which both parents helped him with very sensitively. When he became able to move by himself, his mother was reassured about his capacity to survive, and his previous problems cleared up. Though his mother had always explicitly linked his birth with her own father's death, the degree to which this death had been traumatic did not become clear until the observation had been completed.
