How to Use
Hold the card 8–12 inches from your baby's face – that's their focal range. Show each card for 10–30 seconds. Try 2–3 cards per session, 1–3 times a day. Use during calm, alert moments – right after a feed or during tummy time works great. No reaction? That's completely normal. Their brain is still processing. Move to the next series when your baby seems ready – there's no strict timeline.
