Two months old baby. What should I give him to please both mother and baby?

Up to six months, a newborn is a beautiful, gentle creature, usually constantly in a state of sleep, however, for parents it is a joy that they want to share with their friends and acquaintances. And dates such as baptism and the first six-month anniversary are appropriate occasions for celebration, which are not complete without a present for a recently born baby. But the baby is still very small, and his range of interests is limited, because of this, invitees often have the question of what to give for the child’s birthday. There are quite a lot of options, even for such an early age of the birthday boy.

Features of age from birth to 6 months

In order for the gift to please the baby, to be interesting and useful to him, we need to consider what is typical for this period of child development. In addition, do not forget that the baby grows very quickly, and each subsequent month after birth is marked by new skills and abilities.

It is probably wrong to pose the question of what a child should be able to do at a given age, because children are all different; rather, the task of adults should be competent education, and even gifts - toys and other necessary things - should contribute to this.

Research and cognitive activity in babies from birth is expressed in the manipulation of various objects, the main of which in the first months is a rattle. And only from 5 months the baby begins to be interested in studying the properties of individual objects.

Therefore, children's gifts can be different:

• entertaining toys - pyramids, rattles, soft rubber squeaky toys, plastic and rubber bathing toys in the form of ducks, fish, turtles, boats;
• educational ones, which are mobiles, musical pendants, large bright pictures;
• useful, practical gifts - children's bedding, clothes, diapers, perhaps even more serious household items - a child's car seat, a stroller, in a word, something that the baby needs, but the parents did not have time to buy.

Since at the age of six months the child’s hearing, vision and touch are actively developing, emphasis can be placed on this. A one-month-old baby needs bright, one-color toys of different shapes; at three months he can perceive sound well, and this makes it possible to choose singing and dancing figures, music boxes and carousels as gifts.

It should be taken into account that red, blue and yellow rattles, balls and animal figurines should appear in the baby’s arsenal, since these are the first colors that he distinguishes.

Up to six months, boys and girls can be given the same gifts, excluding clothing - for babies of different sexes it has a lot of differences, including color.

Rules for choosing toys for children

The requirements for toys for small children are quite strict. In addition to the attractive appearance, other nuances are also important:

1. The safety of any object in the hands of a baby comes first. First of all, it must be a high-quality material that does not contain toxic substances, there should be no small parts that the baby can swallow; it is good if the toy is whole - it will be impossible to disassemble it.
2. Musical toys should have a gentle, quiet melody; when choosing, you should avoid things with a sharp and low sound, which can scare the baby.
3. Any toy must meet age requirements; usually, such information is indicated on the packaging.
4. It is also important that items purchased for a newborn can be washed and cleaned regularly without losing their quality, so the practicality of the chosen toy also matters, but mainly for the family budget.
5. It is better not to give soft toys to small children, since they intensively absorb dust and often cause allergies in children.

When purchasing a gift for a child for 1 month or six months, you always need to make sure of the quality of the product - you cannot buy dubious toys with an unnatural or synthetic smell, the presence of defects and the absence of a certificate.

Here we will discuss the most common mistakes that donors make during the selection process. Without naming specific items, we will reveal certain nuances of choosing what to give to a child.

• contain small parts that can enter the respiratory tract;
• contain toxic components or other hazardous substances;
• may contain allergens, focus on hypoallergenic products;
• capable of breaking;
• make loud noises, the girl may get scared;
• too difficult to handle.

When deciding what to give as a gift, it is better to immediately dismiss food ideas. The main diet of a child at this age is breast milk. Moreover, some foods can cause allergic reactions, which is extremely dangerous for the baby.

Refuse complex logic games. The girl is not yet able to reason logically, which is why such things will be of no interest to her. Plush toys also fall into the category of a waste of money. The soft bunny will turn into a regular dust collector.

Gifts that develop motor skills and intelligence

Of course, a toy for a baby is an ideal gift, but how quickly it can cope with a developmental task depends on how quickly the child can learn certain skills that help him learn about the real world.

A gift for a child for six months will be optimally useful if it has an interesting texture for him, because during this period the baby’s tactile sensations are in the foreground, and by the month he begins to distinguish the colors and shapes of objects, so toys should be large, bright with interesting geometry forms. Parents or their friends may well give their children useful and beautiful toys that promote different abilities.

Toys that develop logic at this age:

• pyramids and soft cubes from which they can build a house or tower;
• sets of cards with bright images of one or more objects;
• sorters with slots for figures;
• toy books with thick, waterproof pages (wooden or rubber);
• rugs in the form of puzzles with a minimum number of parts;
• educational business boards, consisting of a board with various objects attached to it - buttons, locks, simple figures made of plastic and rubber;
• educational soft rugs made from natural materials, equipped with small toys, musical details, all kinds of laces, balls, geometric elements, such games are intended for children 3-4 months old, they develop fine motor skills, teach them to distinguish colors, shapes of objects, and bright images on the surface of the rug broaden the child's horizons.

You should pay attention to the fact that solid objects have a variety of textures - several toys made of plastic and latex may have a ribbed, wavy or bumpy surface. If you give a three-month-old baby a rattle, it is advisable that it has a comfortable handle; at this age, children begin to actively put into their mouths everything that falls into their hands.

Not knowing what to give for your child’s birthday, you can choose things that will help instill in your child a love of music and creative activities.

Toys and things for physical development

For the general development of children under the age of six months, a gift such as a developmental mat on which the baby will crawl is well suited, but in addition to this, you can give him specific things that will help strengthen the muscles of his arms and legs:

• A massage ball, in this case a fitball, will be a useful acquisition - exercise using this gymnastic equipment will help the baby relieve excess stress, fulfill the task of the massager, and strengthen his musculoskeletal system;
• jumpers - a device that looks like a seat in the form of children's panties for floor exercises or hanging. It is believed that the device helps activate the child's motor skills, but such a gift must be chosen together with the parents, if there is a recommendation from the pediatrician.
