During the early weeks of life, a baby's vision is still developing. Bold black-and-white patterns and simple face-like images are easier for young babies to see and focus on.
These simple designs can give your baby something interesting to look at while you enjoy a few quiet moments of interaction together.
A little piece of my pediatric history:
I originally developed visual stimulation designs in 1994 while caring for newborn babies. More than 30 years later, I'm bringing them back to share with a new generation of parents.

Don't turn visual stimulation into an exercise. Let your baby lead the way. A few moments of looking and interacting with you are plenty.
