The Best Newborn Toys

| January 4, 2012

Newborn babies soon start to take an interest in things outside the sphere of Mummy and Daddy.

My baby loved to gaze at the Tiny Love Double Sided First Book with it’s vivid black and white pictures.

This is one of the best newborn toys. Our baby has played with this since she was a newborn and she still loves reading and playing with this toy now that she is 10 months old.

From age 3 months the reverse coloured side, with 3D illustrations and activities, keeps younger babies entertained with bright colours and crackly textured animals.

This book can conveniently be tied to your baby’s cot with the red ribbons attached to it.

Now my baby can sit up unaided she plays with this fold-out book on the floor, enjoying flipping it over and folding it up.

This first baby book will last months and months and provide hours of entertainment and play!

Here are some of my baby’s best newborn toys:

Skip Hop Baby Toys

The Best Baby Mobile

Lamaze Pyramid Activity Mat & Play Gym

Lamaze Octotunes Octopus

Baby Einstein Take Along Tunes

Is Breastfeeding Best for Babies?

| December 29, 2011

There’s a lot of debate when it comes to feeding and what’s best for your baby.

Exclusive breastfeeding, mixed feeding (breast and formula) or formula feeding?

The World Health Organisation (WHO) published a statement in January 2011 indicating findings show exclusive breastfeeding up to the age of 6 months is best for babies, as it helps to achieve optimal growth, development and health.

This statement on breastfeeding by the WHO is for all babies and not just babies in developing countries.
