Newborns are attracted to black-and-white patterns because they are bold. Your baby’s retina has not yet matured enough to perceive values of red, blue, pink, yellow, purple, and green, so using simple black-and-white bold patterns will allow them to work on focusing.

Research shows that newborns prefer black-and-white images to pastels, so these bold patterns are super interesting to them.

Babies are able to fixate on these simple images, and fixation promotes learning. You can continue to use them as they grow to make Tummy Time fun!
