Precisely yes. Babies undergo different stages before they can clearly see images even your face. But they are very sensitive in what they hear. Try talking to them and introduce yourself. And also don’t forget to touch them. Touching is also a mean in communicating to babies.

I found that although their vision is not as good as adults’, research has shown that babies have many visual abilities, so that their visual experience is quite rich and well-organized. However, their sensitivity to light and dark, and subtle shading improves about 4 times faster than their visual acuity.

it is how they feel that counts in this early age. They feel the comfort that you give. Your touch counts most.

This graphic is really nice. It definitely helps you understand what they are able to see over time.

I love your graphic. I generally knew the different stages, but the picture really clears things up.

I never really knew this. This is really useful. I always assumed that babies could see facial features from when they were born. Thanks for this!!

So babies start with the poor eyes and when we grow up at the late age of our lives, we return to poor eye vision.

This is so true and is the main reason why it’s very important to give babies a rather large amount of comfort when they are young. Let them know you are there even though they can’t quite make out your face. The visual in this post really helps!

Wow, didn’t know exactly how blurry their vision really was! Also… we have that same giraffe toy; it is very loud!
