Scientific Nursing Top Gives Breastfeeding Babies A Brain Workout
Science Daily — Breastfeeding babies could become smarter thanks to a scientifically designed 'clever baby' nursing top recently revealed by the University of Portsmouth.
The new nursing top incorporates the latest research in infant cognitive development by using patterns designed to stimulate babies' vision.
Studies indicate that patterns with high contrast colours, especially black and white, register powerfully on a baby’s retina and send strong visual signals to the brain - the equivalent of a visual workout for the baby. It increases neurological connections in the brain and aids crucial cognitive development.
And the top’s unique design makes breastfeeding easier for mum too. It has been fashionably designed while allowing mothers to maintain comfort and dignity. The cross-over design allows the baby to feed on the breast without the mother having to lift up the whole top and the garment is designed to cover the tummy area which many mums are sensitive about after childbirth.
