1 Simple Way to Entertain Your Newborn - White and Black Photos

Black and White Images

Many newborn babies are, apparently, infatuated with the color-contrast of black and white images - the two very opposite colors stimulate the newborn-baby mind in a way that they've never, yet, experienced. Try to imagine the first time that you ever had the chance to experience and appreciate the differences between the colors of black and white - such a simple concept, yet, it is easy to understand how this would be fascinating for a little baby.

We talk more about this on our post Top 10 Easy Baby Books and on our post Top 36 Must-Have Newborn Baby Items.

Black and White Photos for Newborns and Babies

At about 4-weeks-old, my newborn was mesmerized with the black and white pictures that I had downloaded to my iPad after an article on Babycenter.com suggested to me the idea of introducing B&W images to my newborn. So, I typed in these keywords into Google: "black and white contrast images" and then, I downloaded a few of the PDF files that I found to my iPad. Even though my 3-week-old daughter had a very short attention span (less than 2-minutes), it was still awesome to see her "WOW!-ed" little face - especially because this was probably the first time that I had ever seen her with any sort of expression of interest/fascination on her face in anything at all.
