"What is your number one developmental toy for an under 6 month old?"

 

ANSWER- I know this is going to sound corny, but truly, you don’t NEED all of the toys! All your baby truly needs is you, and a blanket on the floor!

They are SO motivated by your face, engaging with you, learning about your features, and how your voice sounds when you sing or talk to them. I promise you’ve got this!
