Black-and-White Books for Newborns

When babies are born, they are not able to distinguish colors right away and their vision is not fully developed. In order to help your new baby's visual pathway develop more quickly, you can use black and white contrast books. The sharp edges and the contrast of colors are very attractive to new babies. You will notice that many items use the black and white colors for products geared at babies of this age.

I noticed that when my babies were brand new they loved to stare at a contrast board that I made for them. I would set the bouncer seat next to the wall with the board and they would be fascinated for a good 10 minutes. You can also use my favorite tool in all the world to expose your baby to some black and white, books. Below is a list of some tried and true black and white books for newborns. I am including a few pictures that were on Amazon of happy babies viewing these books. The pictures speak for themselves.
