Urmmm. It might confuse the child I guess, until the child reaches the level of comprehension that it's an individual separate from its mother, best keep the mirrors away. 1 Like |

henryadex:lol. Zero knowledge of optics. In a conventional plane mirror, luminous intensity for both incident and reflected ray is approximately the same. It only undergoes lateral inversion. So rays from plane mirrors ARE NOT brighter than or different from what our eyes see for real. That said, even at birth, babies are more intelligent than animals. Unlike a bird which would fight with its own reflection on the same window every time, a baby can learn to recognise the image in the mirror as him/herself pretty much the same way they learn to answer their names or communicate in a language. Its funny how people try to give superstitions a scientific look. 1 Like |

Re: How Does Mirror Affect Infants by thomwell: 6:17am On Jan 18, 2013 |
Anybody standing in front of a mirror is expected to endure some level of reflection from the mirror which is usually irritating depending on the angle of reflection. This reflection can also be dangerous if you are backing a very sharp/bright light source, hence may affect the eyes. This isn't good for babies cos it can affect any of their infant organs (as certain organs may not b able to tolerate it) and can create wrong impression on their mind through their mind eyes. Observe that a baby in front of a mirror with such sharp/bright light reflection tends to react and sometime may hibernate temporarily before regaining consciousness if quickly withdrawn from such mirror, if not such reflection can affect the baby via the brain if prolonged. ... Hope this helps our curiosity. |

Re: How Does Mirror Affect Infants by Nobody: 9:51pm On Nov 25, 2014 |
scientifically, mirrors have absolutely no effect on infants. in fact, they can't recognise themselves in the mirror simply because they haven't developed self consciousness. i.e, they don't know anything about their existence. on toddlers however . . . . . . . it is equivalent to a toy. |
