It is literally the only thing other than eating boob and sleeping that will keep her from crying at the moment. :) </p> Foodnerd81 on "Do babies prefer to look at coloured mobiles?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-babies-prefer-to-look-at-coloured-mobiles#post-730198 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:36:42 +0000 Foodnerd81 730198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember hearing, not necessarily from a reputable source, that newborns like black and white best for the sharp contrast. My nephew had a colorful one that he loved for a few months. </p> Cherrybee on "Do babies prefer to look at coloured mobiles?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-babies-prefer-to-look-at-coloured-mobiles#post-730194 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:34:33 +0000 Cherrybee 730194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: Just as I suspected!!

I will get the colorful one! </p> heffalump on "Do babies prefer to look at coloured mobiles?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-babies-prefer-to-look-at-coloured-mobiles#post-730168 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:21:57 +0000 heffalump 730168@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think black and white would be fine when they're teeny tiny, but colors would be better for when they get a little bigger. </p> Cherrybee on "Do babies prefer to look at coloured mobiles?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-babies-prefer-to-look-at-coloured-mobiles#post-730141 Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:06:02 +0000 Cherrybee 730141@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We bought our cot today! Yay!! Next item on our list is the cot-top changer and the cot mobile. </p> <p>I'm looking for a mobile, primarily, to distract the baby while she is on the cot top changer..... We have seen a white and grey mobile that will go perfectly with our colour theme (lilac and white) but we have also seen a cute pink and blue mobile that would look lovely as there are bits of pink and blue throughout the room. </p> <p>The question is - which mobile will be more interesting to the baby? </p>
