Toys

[Rhino Horn]

I feel a bit of a dummy asking this question but being a first time mum I have no clue.

We have got all of the baby essentials, but no cuddly toys or mobiles or anything like that.

Is it worth getting some of this stuff for day 1 or leaving it a few weeks or so? I feel like the most boring mum in the world. Totally practical - but no fun

I'm kind of thinking that friends / relatives are going to buy some of this stuff so don't want to be spending loads of money.

What have other people bought for their newborns?

I've got some toys for him, just soft ones that you shake and they rattle or tinkle! I've got a play mat too as I found that essential when I had Lacey!

I like the play mats too, just didn't know if it's worth getting for day 1?

I have bought some soft toys and a cot mobile..I have heard they help keeping the baby busy as they notice the colours and sounds so worth buying few...

Right, i need to get shopping. What a shame

i dont think you need it for day one, but a mobile is good for newborn to have something to look at i think its like practise for them. I dont have any toys really and cuddly toys is nothing you really should leave your babies with anyway? it looks cute in the cot tho so i got 2 bears and one comfyblanket that is an elephant..

ok here's a really silly question. Can you put a cot mobile on a moses basket?

I would have thought so, if it's not too heavy. Or maybe they do ones specially for moses baskets??
