[00:00:00]What can newborns actually see in their first week of life?

[00:00:03]Not much.

[00:00:04]At least not clearly.

[00:00:07]A newborn's vision is super blurry and they can [music] only focus on things about 8 to 12 inches away.

[00:00:12]Which is almost the exact distance [music] between your face and theirs during feeding.

[00:00:17]In the first week, babies mostly see blurry shapes, shadows, light and dark contrasts, and slow movement.

[00:00:25]Bright colors don't really stand out yet.

[00:00:28]That's why newborns are naturally attracted [music] to human faces and black and white patterns. Their brain is still learning how to process everything their eyes are seeing.

[00:00:37]So, when your baby stares at you, [music] they may not see every detail yet, but they already know you're someone important.
