MUNDANE MYSTERIES: How do babies see the world when they’re born?

I’ve often wondered this every since I became a parent. When babies are born and first open their eyes, after crying for a few minutes, what does everything actually look like through their eyes?

Many experts and doctors have said that for their first month of living, babies only see in black & white. They also only see silhouettes and are unable to focus on things right after they are born. Which makes sense I guess. They have to wait a little while until they see in color. Much like buying a TV in the mid 80s.
