Why would a baby shrink and stare in the air like they are afraid when sometimes being held?
The world is a scary place for newborns, and their eyes, like much of the rest of their body, take time to adjust being outside of the womb. Many studies have been done on babies' eyesight. If you have ever wondered why a lot of mobiles and other items for newborns to play with are in black and white, it is because their eyes can recognize the sharp contrast of the colors more efficiently than the blur of colors.
When you pick a newborn up, it takes a moment for their eyes to adjust. they cannot see as clearly or as far away as older children and adults, and when there is a rapid change in their line of sight (even if you pick them up slowly), this is threatening to them as they are trying to process the new information.
Babies can only focus on objects approx. 8-15 in in front of them. So while holding them, make sure your face is close enough for them to concentrate on, and they will be more likely to stare at yu instead of off into space. Imagine if you were being held in mid-air and could only see fuzziness around you because nothing was close enough for you to concentrate on, you'd be a little scared too!!
BTW - don't worry, by the time babies are around 8 months old, they see things about as clearly as adults. And, as always, if you are worried about their development, have them checked out with a qualified professional to ease your fears.
