[blparent] visual stimulation and eye contact with babies

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi.  Why on earth wouldn't it be healthy to get close to your infant's face? 
I suppose you wouldn't if you had a bad cold or something, which is common 
sense, but other than that I can't see any reason for worrying about that.

"How far you go in life depends on you being tender with the young, 
compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving, and tolerant of 
the weak and the strong.  Because someday in life you will have been all of 
these."--George Washington Carver, 1864-1943, American scientist
