| Why is everyone using high contrast cards for their babies? What do they do? Is there any scientific evidence that it’s good for their brain development? |

| They’re mostly just bored, this is harmless, don’t sweat it. |

| There is a moment in infant development when their eyesight is only able to discern high contrast visuals. It passes quickly, and I don't believe brain development is hurt by not providing high-contrast visuals during that period. |

| My newborn liked it. It was a fun thing for my parents to do while they held my newborn so I could have a break. They liked watching his eyes, it was cute |

LOL. I thought this trend died with Baby Einstein. Those toys were always so garish because they included bright primaries as well as high contrast b&w in their design.
Not necessary. Eyes will develop anyway. Do it if you want to watch your baby look at cards. |
