MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do babies see in color when they’re first born?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Do babies see in color when they’re first born?

This mystery was something I thought of when my wife and I welcomed our second child a few weeks ago. Can she see in color? What does she see?

The answer seems to be that newborns only see in black and white when they are first born. Then over a few weeks they start to see shades of grey. It’s not until about 4 months that they slowly start seeing in color.

Crazy!
