The Toy Must Have For ALL Newborns!!!!!!!!!!!

We get so busy preparing the nursery with the right color scheme, theme, furniture, and accents that we often overlook what I consider the most important staple in a nursery.   Every baby must have……. a mobile.  Your baby’s mobile is his first opportunity to use his vision and figure out the shapes and objects in his world.  He will be developing his eye skill and building his attention through the use of a mobile.  Mobiles should be of strong contrasting colors, so that they will be easy for newborns to see. Stay away from the pastels; sorry if that is your nursery theme, the colors are just not strong enough for your newborns developing vision.  A mobile should come with gentle and soothing music.  You can swing the mobile out of the crib when your baby is tired or overstimulated.  You can use the music to sooth your baby with or without the movement of the mobile. When your newborn is a little bit older, 3-4 months or more he will begin to really follow the movement of the mobile and this should keep him busy so that you can have a few minutes of constructive mommy time.  (What is constructive mommy time? We will get to that at a later date)
