hiya, im pretty sure that you are not suposed to use cot bumpers or quilts until baby is over 12 months old. think it is higher risk of suffocation.

Jamie just sleeps most of the time at the mo so he doesnt play with many toys!! he does have a bouncy chair which vibrates and has little toys hanging down from it, which he seems to enjoy! Also bought a playnest for him but hes a bit tiny to appreciate that yet!!

I've always read that you should remove the bumpers when baby is starting to use them to possibly climb out of the crib. Ava sleeps and remains in the middle of her crib so there's no way she can suffocate from them. Once she starts scooting or moving more, I might remove them. I'm perfectly comfortable with them being there right now.

Ava is starting to enjoy the toys that hang from her bouncer, they light up and play music. She also has a playmat with various toys that hang and make sound but she isn't quite ready for it. She also really loves her winnie the pooh mobile, she'll lay in her crib and smile at it!

Yeah bumpers arnt recomended for the first 12 months like duvets and pillows like steph says. reason being that the bbay could wriggle and get stuk in it as they just tie to the cot they can become entangled.
