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?

When i was pregnant i bought lots ( i felt a bit guilty not to … the packaging is such a con for mums to be!! ) but my little one seems much more interested in the humidifier …

Whats your opinion?

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.

Infant Activity Toys

With all the recalls for toys made in China, it`s important for parents to consider and eco-friendly or “green” alternative for buying toys. Green products in general are items that considered to be natural and/or organic – made of natural materials that rae also biodegradable and recyclable. It`s also a good idea to look for toys that don`t use toxic dyes or any lead. This is especially important because infants and young children tend to put alot of objects in their mouths, particularly when they are teething.

What I found when doing research on this topic is that there are many toy designers and toy manufacturers that now take all this into consideration. They not only consider the eco-friendliness of a toy, there`s also a concern about durability, eliminating sharp edges, and not designing toys that have small parts that can fall off and be easily swallowed. So stuffed animal toys with glass or button eyes are out. Cloth and soft toys that are washable are now much more popular.

Now for the fun stuff. Toy makers design their products according to age group. For newborns and infants, there`s alot of mobiles that show brightly colored bold geometric shapes and patterns that work to a baby`s ability to focus their eyesight. Some play soothing music – even Mozart and Beethovan. Lots of toys fall into the activity or educational categories to keep the munchkins busy and entertained. Again, these are designed according to age group and dexterity levels. Many of these toys while being fun are also adorable. They`re soft, safe, and washable too. Some of the bath toys play music, light up, and spin around. How fun is that? For a busy and full time working parent, bath time might be one of the few times where you get to spend quality time with your little ones. You`re there anyway, so it might as well be fun and entertaining. You can use the tub time to play with your kids with these wonderfully designed activity toys, and you know what? You`ll have a blast too watching your baby play, learn, and of course, get clean. I invite you to look at the website I designed. It provides a huge resource for current baby and child care, information, and supplies – many at a discount for parents (and doting grandparents too).
