What's Your Baby Trying To Tell You?

Posted Wednesday, March 20, 2008, by Michelle D.
By observing your baby's play, even in the first year, you will get a sense of the types of toys that she likes. You might want to consider writing down some of both the interests and disinterest. It's very disheartening to bring home a toy that your baby touches once and forever after ignores. You can share your baby's toy interest with family and friends to help with gift ideas. Some questions to help you think about your baby's preferences include:
Stuffed animal/"Lovie"?
Book?
Rattle toy?
Musical toy?
Mirror toy?
Video/DVD?
Once you've considered your needs, and your baby's preferences, you will have a much smaller universe of toys to consider, and the greatest chance of adding another beloved favorite to baby's toy chest.
