👀 Boosting your newborn's visual development
Faces and simple play support visual attention without special gadgets.
What to do
1. What to prepare
Offer your face or a simple high-contrast toy at a comfortable distance while baby is awake; move slowly and let baby look away.
2. What to check
Do not shine lights into the eyes or force practice. Raise concerns about eye alignment or visual response with your child-health professional.
