Infant Visual Stimulation and Growth




Stimulate Baby Eyes!




An infant's vision may be one of the least developed senses at birth, but visual input during the early months may have the most profound effect on your baby's developing nervous system.

At birth, a baby's brain cells are disorganized. While the infant grows, the brain receives input from all five senses. This input causes nerve cells to multiply and form myriad connections with other nerve cells. This is why visual stimulation is so crucial.

If a baby was kept blindfolded the visual center in his brain would never develop and the child would never see. On the other hand, if you provide continuous visual input into your baby's eyes, the retina thrives, the optic nerve grows, and the visual part of baby's brain develops in ever more sophisticated ways.

At the earliest stages of your baby's development, black and white and strong contrasting colors are a great way to begin stimulating your baby's vision. Research has shown that black and white contrasts register powerfully on the youngest babies retinas and send the strongest signals to the brain. Stronger signals mean more brain growth.

Lillunia recommends there magical Zebra art to begin the visual journey with your child. Isabella's Zebra's, Alexander's Zebras and our magical full-wall Lillunia Mosaic called Zoe's Zebras (http://www.lillunia.com/-MOSAIC-ART/Zoe-s-Zebras-p76.html).
