Born ready to look and learn!
Your baby started to get to know you before they were born – they've heard your voice and the voices of people around you, and have been sensitive to your emotions.[1] Despite not having fully developed vision, newborn babies do show a preference for looking at faces.[2] This is linked to their social and language development, because they look at faces to help them learn about people,[3] interaction and conversation.
Face recognition starts early!
