Need to rule out several causes
If she us having cataract and it appears to be dense....
She must be operated soon under general anesthesia, to prevent amblyopia development
Kindly visit a pediatric ophthalmologist soon....

Hello ,
Your baby girl might have a pseudosquint ( appears like squint but it's not)
How is her vision...by this time she must be able to grasp and hold things you show in front of her face. , Follow those objects, and through your photo I can see she is directly looking at the camera.
Next Steps
keep track of her vision, and please avoid showing any mobile or laptop. ( anything that involves near work)
Health Tips
pseudosquint goes off as her face changes by 3 to 4 years.

It looks like a Pseudosquint from the image,which means that it looks like a squint but actually it's not. Usually it's because of the eyelid structure that leads to such appearence. It normalizes with growth of the child. Though you should consult a Pediatric Ophthalmologist post lockdown, as detailed clinical evaluation is needed for an accurate diagnosis.
