Babies are never too young to enjoy books. In fact, looking at books with babies is highly recommended by experts from as early as birth.
Until they are 6 months old, a baby’s eyesight is not yet fully developed. Their focus, depth of perception and range of colours is extremely limited. Until they are 3-4 months old, their range of vision is only around 6 to 8 inches – fortunately this is the perfect distance for your baby to look into your eyes and practise focussing on your face when you’re feeding or cuddling. Scientists think this is a deliberate biological trait to encourage bonding and attachment, whilst your baby feels safe in their parents’ arms – unaware of the huge new world around them. So the favourite thing for your baby to practise focussing on is you!
However, babies also need stimulation and entertainment – and as much as we’d like to, it’s impossible to gaze at your baby 24 hours a day. Scientists agree that young babies have a very limited range of colour. From birth their vision is limited to black, white and possibly shades of grey, then from 3-4 months they start to develop their colour vision, starting with red. All experts agree that if you show a baby a high contrast, black and white image – it will immediately capture their attention and your baby will become deeply absorbed. Imagine seeing such exciting and interesting new shapes and images in such a blurry world!
