Why black and white?
Research shows that the best way to stimulate baby’s vision, especially 0-4 months, is by using black and white patterns or high contrast patterns. Since black and white is 100% high contrast, it's the color combination we stand behind.
Research shows young babies might as well be blindfolded when they are surrounded by pastels. Alternatively, black and white patterns register powerfully on baby’s retina, and they send the strongest visual signals to baby’s brain. Stronger signals enhance baby’s vision and stimulate brain development.
Surround babies with black and white, and watch their eyes light up!Mothering an infant and 2 toddlers, our black and white patterns are tried and true in our own home. While research shows the benefits of black and white for ages 0-4 months in particular, I personally believe children may benefit from high contrast designs beyond that timeframe. At 4 months, 2 years old, and 4 years old, my children remain captivated by black and white patterns. They've held their attention longer than pastel and primary color patterns and noticeably encouraged learning in our home. Many of our customers have voiced similar observations with older infants and children. We encourage customers to share feedback always, because we truly want our line to be the best for baby and child!
