What to give a child up to six months old?

Some time after the appearance of the baby in the house, the parents invite relatives and friends to visit to introduce a new family member. In this case, a baby cannot do without a gift. It is customary to give presents to a boy or girl when they come to visit. There are other events when it is necessary to choose gifts: goddaughter or godson for christening, for 2, 3, 4 or more months, New Year, Christmas and so on. I really want the gift to be useful, like it and bring joy.

A two-month-old, three-month-old, four- or five-month-old baby is still too young to move independently. The most difficult thing, perhaps, is to figure out what to give the child for 2 months, after three months the activity becomes more obvious, the wakefulness time increases, the baby begins to be attracted by objects. But you can always choose a gift, running a little ahead, because children grow up very quickly. It is important to remember that during this period of life, the baby tastes everything, so when choosing a toy, you should know that sooner or later it will be in his mouth.

Before you buy a toy, pay attention to points such as:

• quality of materials - this is the main criterion to be guided by; in no case give toys and clothes of dubious production, since low-quality materials can cause allergies and even provoke poisoning;
• convenience - this applies, first of all, to toys that the baby will hold in his hands - they should be light and easy to fit in the palm of the hand;
• Colour - After two months, babies begin to distinguish colors, they are attracted by everything bright, catchy, so restrained colors and pastel colors are not the best choice, give preference to catchy colors, colorful design.

Do not hesitate to ask what to give - it is better to buy the desired item without a surprise. Originality does not always work with children, if you do not know exactly what to give, buy a certificate in a children's supermarket.

If you would like to gift a toy, there are several options to consider.

• Rattles. This is the very first toy of the baby, it is at this age that the crumbs are able to appreciate all the charm of the thundering little thing. She attracts their hearing, attention, they look at the rattles with pleasure, drag them into their mouths. The main thing is that it is small so that it is convenient to take it. Discard options that can injure yourself or easily tear off small parts.

• Teethers... This is another hit of the kids. Active teething can begin at almost any age, but even before it begins, children taste everything, this is how they learn about the world. Teethers are designed to be gnawed on. Here, too, it is important that the baby is comfortable to hold and chew on.

• Small toys. They can be made of plush, fabric, equipped with various details that rustle and squeak. They have tiny mirrors, bright details. Such toys can be hung in a stroller, crib, children's rug so that the baby touches them, touches them with his fingers, and hits them with handles.

• Interactive models. Toddlers love to watch bright toys that ring, play, blink, make sounds, move, and so on. Pay attention to the ability to adjust the sound or the absence of too harsh sounds.

• First books. It is better to start acquaintance of the baby with this category with soft books, books for bathing, hard little books.

• Developing rugs. This is a great gift for both the baby and the parents, as it makes it possible to put the baby down for a while and do something during this period, for example, drink coffee or wash the dishes. When choosing a rug, focus on the quality of the materials and the number of toys that can lure him.

• Mobile in a crib or an arc with toys... Another way to give a young mom some rest. The baby is safe in the crib, the mobile is spinning, playing the simplest melodies and attracting the baby. Pediatricians recommend giving preference to models that can be washed, since dust accumulates on rag toys, so they will need to be washed periodically.

• Manege. This device is a great help for many mothers, because in the arena the actively turning baby is safe. You can hang an arc with toys there.

• Developing aids. Now it is very fashionable, if you know that a young mother is a supporter of development from the cradle, you should give her a set of developmental activities, for example, "School of 7 Dwarfs" or "Clever Girl".
