Babies are fun. They are warm and cuddly and you just can’t get enough time with them.
You miss your baby whenever you have to be away from him and love playing with him and giving him all your attention. But, are you playing with your baby too much? Is there such a thing as too much attention?
Your baby is fed and dressed and laying on his back on a soft blanket. Your husband is home and both of you are giving him attention and providing a rattle or clutching toy for him to play with. But, are you over stimulating your baby?
Although over stimulation probably won’t lead to the same problems as lack of stimulation, it may be unpleasant for your baby and can lead to emotional difficulties if it becomes a regular routine.
If your baby is being over stimulated he will “tell” you it’s time to stop by looking the other way. He may also begin to cry or simply frown.
Provide your child a safe, handcrafted clutching toy and sit by and watch him play. You can still enjoy his company without being involved in his play time. A wood baby toy will have a good feel for your baby and is safe for him to put in his mouth.
A unique line of natural wooden baby rattles and clutching toys are manufactured by ImagiPLAY. Their rattles are made from all-natural Beechwood. These baby rattles are sanded baby smooth, boiled in beeswax (a natural antiseptic). Their whimsical shapes are easy for little fingers to grasp and have a nice soft sound when rattled.
ImagiPLAY’s clutching toys are made from plantation grown Rubberwood (an earth friendly hardwood). They are splinter-proof and will provide your baby a toy you can confidently let him play with from 6 months and up.
