Q. My wife just had her baby! It's a girl, Kellie Marie. You all helped me in my previous question, and now I know everything I need to know prepared of parenting. Thanks yall! I am so happy, just need to know, where is somewhere that I can get inexpencive but not cheap newborn baby toys? Not like cheap looking, but something not too expencive <we'll take up to $100> so any ideas? And it needs to be a girl toy, or a unisex one! I don't want any boy ones, so mothers or fathers of newborn girls, what do you have as toys? Where can I get them? The nearest Babies 'R' Us is about 40 miles out to town, we live in a small village with almost no stores, but we'll be willing to go there to get the toys as long as we know what to get. Please answer quick!
Answer
She won't be interested in real toys until about age 3 months to 4 months, once she figures out she has hands and can use the hands.
Things you want now though are some kind of crib light up musical device. FisherPrice makes really cool crib aquariums and my guy loved them from about 3 to 4 weeks old on.
A swing - I love my Graco Lovin Hugs. Rated from 5lbs to 30lbs with a 5 point harness, adjustable seat, music and white noise plus a heart beat sound! Just don't use the mobile and know that the tray takes a while before it becomes easy to snap open and close.
Anything with the heartbeat sound will be calming to baby for the first few weeks. They have bears for sleeping with that have the sound too.
Mobiles, she'll start to notice them, again around the 4 week mark however my son quickly lost interest in them when he started reaching for things because it was out of his reach.
Activity Mat/Activity Gym - place baby on her back and toys hang down she can bat/kick at, music and lights and she'll be fascinated starting at around 6 weeks old. Kicking is the first movements she'll master so make sure there are things that make noise when she kicks them to make it fun. Buy lots of links so that as she starts exploring the world you can hang things lower for her to grab at and have things ready to change up when she gets bored.
Baby Sling - I wish I had gotten one when my guy was young enough. It allows baby to feel close and secure but keeps your hands free so you can eat/go to the bathroom and all the other little things you took for granted!
