Recommendation On
Black And White Baby Mobiles

If you are looking for good toys for infant visual stimulation, then get a black and white infant mobile.

Why ?

Because, according to research, the newborn baby's vision is very limited. Hence, they can only focus on contrasting colors, most notably black and white. Therefore, any toy geared for stimulating newborn baby's vision should have highly contrasting colors.

We highly recommend Wimmer Ferguson Black and White Infant Stim Mobile because this infant mobile offers many attachment in form of a plethora of cards which have different graphic and colors for a baby to look at. In addition, all the graphics are designed according to what found to be effective in stimulating baby's vision.

Thus, you can start with black and white graphic attachment when your baby is a newborn. Once your baby's eyes are developing (approximately two months), you can gradually replace the black and white graphic with the colored ones.

However, since the focus of these black and white baby mobiles is to give visual stimulation and encourage reaching movement, these crib mobiles, unlike others, do not come with bells and whistles. To begin with, these black and white baby mobiles are very basic. They do not have motor to make them swing. Nor do they have music boxes for hearing stimulation. They are also 'not cute'.

Yes, I must admit that the attachments provided for this infant mobile are not cute. Instead, they consist of carefully-designed cards with different graphics and colors.

Will these 'non-cute' toys attract babies ? Evidently yes. Remember, babies still do not understand the cuteness factor. Instead, baby loves splashes of contrasting colors. This baby mobile has just that. Splashes of colors for the baby to see and enjoy.

In addition, since research has shown that babies love faces, the maker of this mobile also includes some cards which have people faces on them.

So, you see, although Infant Stim Mobile is pretty basic, it does what it is supposed to do, which is providing effective infant visual stimulation

Therefore, if you are looking for a basic or no frill baby mobile which does a good job for stimulating infant vision for a reasonable price, then this mobile is your best bet.

If you are thinking of getting this and other infant stimulation toys, I recommend you to get this at Genius Babies, an online toy store specializing in educational baby toys. You can get this baby mobile in this store as part of Wimmer Ferguson visual stimulation set or individually

This store also has a lot of visual infant stimulation products, like black and white baby toys and black and white baby books which complement Infant Stim mobile. A lot of this products are produced exclusively for this store and are also availale in package which will certainly save you money. If you're looking for such infant stimulation toys, have a look at the infant stimulation package from Genius Babies.

The cheapest alternative to buy the complete infant stimulation package from Genius Babies is by buying their deluxe infant stimulation package which contains all you need to stimulate your newborn baby: black and white baby mobile, flash card, black and white jingling toy, and baby rattles (hand, wrist and booties rattle). I must say though that when you buy this package, it contains Genius Babies black and white mobile, instead of Infant Stim mobile. However, in my opinion, this package is the most economical way to buy infant simulation products for a newborn.

Otherwise, if you only want to buy this mobile, you can buy it either locally or at a slightly lower price at this online store.

NOTE: if you want a more fancy black and white baby mobile, you may want to buy either Symphony in Motion or the newer Sweet Island Dreams mobile by Tiny Love. These mobiles are a bit pricey but they have a lot more feature than the Infant Stim Mobile by Wimmer Ferguson. More on Musical Mobile by Tiny Love here.
