An infant needs love, attention and stimulation. All these can be provided as you cuddle your baby in one arm and hold the I-Qube in your hand. Start with the schematic face of mother or father and after the infant focuses on the face move it slowly about six inches in either direction. Watch the infant's visual attentiveness. Then one by one introduce the other designs.
Stimulation is important for brain development.
Studies show that infants who receive stimulation develop greater curiosity, a longer attention span and are more likely to develop their intelligence potential. These infants are more likely to gain weight faster, develop muscle control earlier and emotionally their behavior indicates they are more secure and content. In the last few years researchers have been discovering that an infant's ability to respond to stimulation is much earlier than previously believed possible. Research has shown that infants prefer Black and White as opposed to other colors up to six months old. They recognize schematic faces, respond to geometric patterns and are more interested in complex rather than simple things.
