Shopping for newborns is not as easy as it sounds. The babies themselves are not picky, but you will still need to do a lot of research before handing over a toy to your loved one. I have hence compiled a list of the best Newborn Baby Toys in India that you can opt for.

Things to Keep in Mind before Shortlisting a Toy for Newborn:

• Newborn babies can see or focus on objects that are about a 1 feet away for the first month or two
• They enjoy bright and happy colours with contrasting backgrounds, as these colours are easy for them to see and identify
• Most babies also enjoy soft music, wind chimes or rattles. You will ensure the sound is not loud or sudden, as it scares the baby
• Once your baby is old enough to hold things, he/she would try and chew on everything that they find. So ensure you buy only safe toys for your LO.

 

Safety List:

• Do not buy toys with sharp edges or long pointy shapes
• Do not buy small toys that the baby easily swallow. Avoid toys with small parts for the first year or so
• Avoid toys with batteries (Especially smaller button batteries)
• Only buy toys with BPA free plastic or Wooden toys with organic/food grade colours
• If someone does gift your baby a toy that does not fulfil the requirements above, ensure you keep the toy away so that no one else has access to it. Someone visiting the baby might use that toy by mistake.

Best Toys for Newborns – 0-3 Months:

 

1. Rattles

This has been the go-to toy for parents for ages now. Rattles are still very popular because of their simplicity. Different sounds that you can produce using rattles can keep your baby engaged for several minutes.

Although Newborns will not be able to hold the rattles themselves. Parents can use them to play with the baby or calm them while they are crying.

 

a. Fisher-Price Giraffe Clacker Rattle

Nicely designed and cute looking Giraffe with rattles. The toy is designed so that the baby can easily grip the same (3 months+).

The product is very attractively priced and not at all expensive. The drawback, however, is that the toy is made using plastic.

b. Wooden Baby Rattles by Ceejay Toys

This is not a very well known brand. However, their product quality was really good. This particular set has 6 rattles in it. They are all made using hand-picked wood and coloured using non-toxic and organic paints.

Some of the rattles do have a few small parts. So you will need to keep an eye on your baby to ensure there is no mishap.

Overall, a really good toy set that you must buy for your LO.

2. Teethers

As soon as your baby is able to hold things in hand, he/she will try and chew on it. This is how most babies experience the world. Any new thing they encounter, they will and taste/feel it in their mouth.

Teethers will also be helpful to the baby from around the 4th month onwards. Most babies start to feel itchy in their gums due to teething. A good (Not too soft or not too hard) teether will help them alleviate that feeling.

 

a. Mee Mee Multi Textured Silicone Teethers

I found Mee Mee teethers really good. They are available in multiple designs and made using silicone which is BPA free.

The colours used are also baby friendly and non-toxic. These toys are nicely designed without any sharp edges. The babies find it easy to hold and chew on.

Make sure you buy a lot of teethers. Different shapes and colours will keep them engaged. Also, you never know which shape your baby will enjoy chewing on the most.

Don’t worry, these teethers are not very expensive.

Best Toys for Babies 3 to 6 Months:

A lot of the toys that you would have purchased so far will still keep your child engaged. However, now since your child should be able to touch, feel and hold things, you can provide him/her with some toys that can help develop the senses, focus of eyes and hand-eye coordination of your baby.

You can buy toys that your baby can hold, lift and move around.

The only drawback is that the seller does not allow us to pick a particular colour of the doll. One of the toys is randomly picked and sent across to us.

 

6. Fisher-Price Multi Colour Chains

A time-tested toy that babies of multiple age really enjoy. A 3+ month infant will start feeling the texture of the chains. They also enjoy different colours. This toy will also help you identify your baby’s favourite colour 🙂

They can easily chew on the rings too. Once the baby starts growing up, you can start teaching him/her how to join the rings together.

7. Toyshine Musical Duck

A toy that will really come handy once your baby starts consuming homemade food. I also prefer a musical toy like this one instead of showing a cartoon on Mobile or TV.

Once your baby is addicted to watching a mobile or a TV while having food, it will be very difficult for you to reverse this habit of theirs.

Having a toy with some melodious music and some lights will help you calm your baby down while they finish their food.

11. Fisher-Price Stack and Slide Mountain

This is the last baby toy on my list for now. This is a new version of the ring stacking toy. Babies can enjoy this toy in two ways.

The first way is as expected, by stacking or de-stacking (A polite word for destroying) the stack. Secondly, you can also drop a rattle bear that comes along with this toy. It makes a nice sound and babies tend to enjoy the bear falling off at the bottom.
