Baby Gift Guide: Newborn to Early Infant (0-3 Months)

At this age toys should stimulate the baby's senses and promote early motor skills, without being too complex. Look for toys that are safe for a newborn and help with sensory development. 

1. Rattles: Simple rattles with gentle sounds help babies develop auditory senses and grasping skills.
2. Soft, High-Contrast Toys: Toys with bold patterns (black, white, red) to help develop visual tracking and focus.
3. Mirrors: Baby-safe mirrors that allow the baby to focus on their reflection can help develop visual tracking and self-recognition.
4. Soft Cloth Books: Books with bright colors, textures, and simple pictures promote visual and tactile stimulation.
5. Tummy Time Mats/Play Mats: These mats often have attached toys (like mirrors, rattles, or dangling objects) to encourage tummy time and strengthen neck and shoulder muscles.
