Infants enjoy looking at faces. Very young babies see faces best when they are about 8 to 12 inches away. Use your facial expressions to help your baby begin to notice changes in the things he sees. As your baby grows, this awareness to visual changes will help your baby focus on pictures, letters and words in books.
