Why are black and white books good for babies?

• Black and white images stimulate the development of your baby’s optic nerves and help to nurture visual development.
• The captivating images and patterns in Mesmerised will keep your baby engaged and boost their learning and focus
• Prop the book open on the play mat in front of your baby to encourage tummy time. Tummy time can get quite frustrating for young babies, and visual stimulation is one of the best ways to extend tummy time.
• The black and white images encourage your baby’s cognitive development without over-stimulating them
• If your baby favours one side of the head or has a flat spot on one side, you can use this book to entice your baby to turn to the non-favoured side.

Tips for reading to your baby

• Cuddle up with your baby and slowly turn the pages, pointing to the pictures in the book and talking about the images to your baby. Bub will love to hear the sound of your voice, and will begin to focus on the images. Use lots of emotion to keep things interesting.
• Try to make your reading time as focused as possible by turning off the TV and staying away from your phone.
• When your baby is a few weeks old they will start to follow moving objects. You can slowly move your Mesmerised book in different directions and see how baby’s gaze follows the movement.
