A Newborn's Early Development Stimulate your newborn's cognitive and visual development with these high-contrast, black-and-white illustrations featuring objects and animals. Why are black-and-white pictures good for babies? Studies have shown that exposing babies to high-contrast images is beneficial for their learning. During the first five months, infants rely mainly on their eyes to learn about their surroundings. This book offers a rewarding experience for babies in their development. Because a newborns' perception of colours is not fully developed, the sharp contrast between black and white makes it easier for them to distinguish objects. It is sure to capture the attention of little ones. Making links between images on a page and the real world is an important foundation for your baby's communication skills
