Home Improvements & Repairs

Are you about to begin with your baby nursery decoration project? Don’t even consider your colors until you have read the following important facts.

Newborn Eyesight
This is primitive to say the least. They can distinguish light and facial features, although only in a very fuzzy way. Think about it: looking at anything is really hard work at this extremely young age. Your aim should be to make it as easy as possible for little one to develop this fundamental ability. For this reason it’s essential to plan.

High Contrast Visuals
Include some patterns like black and white or black and yellow. Think of this as you would watching something easy and familiar on television. Did you know that the best present for a new arrival is a panda soft toy? Bold, contrasting images will help your new arrival see better.

Sophisticated Thinking
Babies are more sophisticated thinkers than we assume. Some newborns can imitate adults sometimes at only a day old by sticking their tongue out in response to an adult doing it.

Memory
It might seem that children don’t remember much at such a young age (apart from recognizing family members’ faces). Not true. Research shows how a 3-month-old baby can register what the decor of her nursery looks like.

Long Lasting Effects
Research shows that youngsters who perform better at memory tests in infancy also perform well in memory tests later in life. Whether this is due to an innate ability at this age or the likelihood of being in a nurturing, stimulating environment is not clear, but it’s best to err on the side of caution and assume that there is a link.

Mix It Up
The answer is to change elements of your baby nursery decor scheme on a regular basis. This gives your baby more to remember, more mental gymnastics to work out to.
