Why Babies Stare So Much
Those long stares are how your baby learns the world.
Babies love to look, especially at human faces.
These long moments of observation are not accidental. Your baby studies shapes, patterns and expressions to understand how people communicate.
Every focused gaze is a small lesson in emotion. Your smile, the movement of your eyebrows, the warmth in your eyes, all these signals help your child understand what feelings look like.
For your baby, your face is the most interesting picture they could ever see. It changes, reacts and responds. It teaches them how love is expressed.
So when your baby stares at you for what feels like a very long time, pause with them. This is their way of learning who you are and how the world works.
