Mothers, what is the one toy your baby couldnt do without?

My 7 month old baby is dissatisfied with her bouncer, rolling around, her toys, etc. I have to play with her all day long and I need something that will make her happy on her own for at least 20 minutes so I can get on with the housework! I’ve tried putting her in a carrier on my back but she hates it! Can you recommend any great toys/activities? Thanks!

Go outside with her, have a nice walk and come home and sit and play with any toy (balls work well) for 10 minutes, then let her know you are going to get up and do the dishes.

This is called play and walk away.

Take away 75% of her toys for 3 weeks and reintroduce each toy slowly. She might find new ways of playing with them.

Keep some music on, and talk to her while you clean, and keep her in sight.

Try a sling or front carrier, she might like it (usually they do protest the first few times, but once they are close to your heart and YOU are calm they will calm).

Best wishes

do you think “developmental toys” are necessary?

For babies?

lol, I got a chuckle out of this. My son is 6 months old and is more interested in keys and shiny necklaces than his toys that make noise or sounds. He also gets a kick out the tv. If you are walking past the tv with him in your arms, he’ll move whichever way possible to see that screen.

My nephew is 10 months old and seriously I was trying to get him to look and play with his toys, but instead he was digging in the trashcan, trying to get into dog food, and playing with measuring cups. The toys are cute and nice and “baby-looking” and I would imagine that some babies like them, but the babies in my family want everything BUT their toys. lol.

Adorable newborn babies are indeed a wonderful blessing to the family. But before they arrive, there are several preparation the parents should consider, and maybe their entire family and friends. The family and friends of the parents-to-be, as a tradition, are those who should be responsible in throwing a baby shower. Baby shower is a fun and memorable time for the parents-to-be. Baby showers are usually given before or after the baby is born but in some countries this party is not celebrated until the baby is born. This celebration will be incomplete without gifts for the baby. By convention, a baby shower is intended to help parents get items that they need for their child.

For the guests, the first few they will think after hearing a baby shower party are diapers, baby clothes and wipes. These things may seem to sound traditional gifts but they can be very helpful. Although you can never get enough of them, but there other items you can add to them. Raising a baby is really a tough job and obviously it requires a lot of basic baby supplies to use, therefore, buying such supplies in bulk can be sometimes helpful.

If you want to give a baby gift that is within the limit of your budget, you can purchase diapers and wipes at wholesale stores. This can make a great gift that doesn’t cost that much. Just be aware of the size, so get a size one or two. You can also purchase wipes as many as you like. Buying wipes by the boxes ables the parents to refill the tub when its empty.

Aside from diapers and wipes, baby clothing can also make a great baby shower gift for the child. Adorable little outfits are always a hit during shower and birthday parties. You can make a bit of change by not just getting blue or pink clothes. Today, there are so many cute designs for baby girls and boys. But make sure also to get a bigger size for babies are growing so fast. The same thing you should think when buying blankets, socks, hats and all those other things.

Another basic essentials you can give are bathing supplies, such as baby shampoo, soap, lotion, soft towels, baby bath toys and others. You can never go wrong with pampering gifts. Other safe choice are personalized baby gifts. They are not only safe to give, but they can truly make a memorable gift for the child. There are so many personalized baby supplies available in the market. They come in different variety of styles, designs and colors. You can find personalized baby blankets, clothing, furnitures, toys and even baby shower supplies such as baby shower favors, shower invitations and baby shower decorations. These are what baby shower and shower gifts are all about. Each of these pieces can give a great help in the future, so parents can really concentrate on taking care of that little bundle of joy. Therefore, giving such wonderful gifts they need is a simple means of showing how you care for them.

Looking for the best infant toys for development from newborn to 1 year- Any suggestions??

My baby girl is almost 2 months – i need something to occupy her later on – some kind of activity play center toy – something great with lights and music _ I’ve been window shopping and dont see much that i like – What do you parents out there recommend -What toys does your baby like??
What about activity mats or something that will promote sitting up and crawling??
And also looking for toys I can attatch to her swing (since her swing does not play music or have lights- a toy with light & music thats attatchble – where can I find one??

My kids LOVED the peek-a-boo blocks from Fisher Price. It is also good for development for them to learn how to put things in and take things out. They have a shape sorter from peek-a-boo blocks. It has different shapes and each block has something new inside. There are SO many different accessories that you can get with the Peek-a-boo blocks. toysrus.com has a great way to select that type of thing. You select the age, and then you select the type of toys. You want to find cause and effect toys, early development, and sights and sounds. You can look at all those categories there, or just type whatever type of toy into a search engine and it should pull up some options.
