Hello


I have just had a baby daughter this week and want to start thinking about things I could get her like mobiles and playmats to keep her entertained when she is a bit older and more aware. I only have practical things like nappies and clothes and want to start spoiling her!


Does anyone have any suggestions of things that their babies loved? I know the jumperoo seems to come up a lot?


Thanks

Congratulations on your newborn. The best entertainment for her for a long while will be looking at you...your smile, your eyes, your hair...nothing better than that for a new baby.


When my son was a slightly older baby he loved having different pieces of coloured cloth waved over/across his head where he could catch the shadows and light...he wasn't hugely interested in all the nice toys we bought by Brio etc (as nice as they are) for quite some time. But, if you really want to make a nice purchase for baby play i'd suggest a playmat with about 3 brightly coloured, softly textured toys. I don't think she'll need much more than this for a while.....as much as all the magazines and society will tell you otherwise. Enjoy your cuddles.

Yes - for really small ones things like a playmat, a gym (our fisherprice rainforest one has now entertained 2 babies), textured materials, a lambskin to lie on, a nice bouncy chair or swing are all good. Jumperoos and bumbos etc all come a bit later at 4/5m plus!

Congratulations!!!!

my little babies loved this mobile -http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tiny-Love-464-Classic-Mobile/dp/B002BSHTS0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1329258428&sr=8-1 (or something very similar!) seemed to keep them entertained for a good 15 or so mins, from quite a young age.

Congrats!!!


Babygym is essential!

A walk in the pram with trees and cars to look at

Making wobbly faces and raspberries at the baby

Baby massage

Mother and baby groups

A book made for tiny babies like John Fordham's "Faces" ragbook

Staring at the light around your curtains or lamps

Best of all is this book which you'll refer to for the next five years http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fun-Start-maximize-babys-potential/dp/0007245653/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1329261491&sr=1-1

    • Anything that improves the front of the station has to be a good thing. Opening up the square in front is a superb idea, it will show the beauty of the architecture of the station, just as they did at Kings Cross when they ripped out the monstrosity of the 1960's frontage and now the station gleams. People probably go there to see the beauty of it. Now wouldn't it be good if once opened up and cleaned up, people visited to see how wonderful it then looks. I guess there is a generally lack of trust that the station square will open by the end of next year, HOWEVER, when the current frontage is removed and the square is opened up as it originally was it will look grand.  
    • i) You must think Liebour can do no wrong, can lie through their teeth and yet you appear to believe every word Starmer and his stooges utter. ii) More assumptions made by you, well guess what you're utterly W R O N G, seems like that's your first trip, just as I predicted.  iii) and you won't be blaming me old man. Shockingly, I actually have to agree with some of the points you've raised.  Reform are the relics of BNP and UKIP, both detestable so add them together and you get an even worse result which is Reform that the UK can do without. 
    • Farage has done nothing but divide and diminish this country, all in the name of his ego and his bank balance. Brexit has made us poorer and has damaged our influence in the world. He supported Trump who is directly threatening our interests and he supported Liz Truss' disastrous budget. He has done his best to ensure our country's decline and now people too proud to admit their mistakes and the deleterious impact of UKIP / The Brexit party / Reform Ltd are again voting for him to finish the job / nail down the coffin lid. Yes, he is a plastic patriot.
    • You clearly don’t know Peckham Rye station there are lifts but they’re not available to the public. Actually, they were  briefly made available when the art exhibition was on.  Priorites again.
