Some time after the baby’s arrival at the baby’s house, the parents invite relatives and friends to come in to introduce a new family member. In this case, the gift to the infant baby is indispensable. It is accepted to give presents to the boy or girl, coming to visit. There are other activities when you need to choose gifts: a goddaughter or godchild on christenings, for 2, 3, 4 or more months, New Year, Christmas and so on. I really want the gift to be useful, to like it and to bring joy.
Age features
A two-month, three-month, four-or five-month-old child is still too small, he does not move independently. The most difficult, perhaps, is to think of what to give the child for 2 months, after three months, the activity becomes more obvious, the wakefulness increases, and the baby begins to attract objects. But you can always choose a gift, slightly running ahead, because children grow very quickly. It is important to remember that during this period of life the baby tastes everything, so when choosing a toy, you should know that sooner or later it will end up in his mouth.
After six months, the child is already sitting and differently perceives the world, so gifts in the period from birth to 5 months are significantly different.
Fundamental rules
Before you buy a toy, pay attention to such things as:
- quality of materials - This is the main criterion for which you need to focus; in no case do not give toys and clothing of dubious production, because poor-quality materials can cause allergies and even provoke poisoning;
- convenience - this applies, above all, toys that the baby will hold in their hands - they should be light and easy to lay in the palm of the hand;
- Colour - kids after two months begin to distinguish colors, they are attracted to all bright, catchy, so discreet colors and pastel colors are not the best choice, give preference to flashy colors, colorful design.
Do not hesitate to ask what to give - it is better to buy the right thing without a surprise. Originality does not always work with children, if you do not know exactly what to give, buy a certificate in the children's supermarket.
Refrain from buying a bouquet of the baby's mother, he may have allergies, but a bunch of fruit is a great solution.
Popular toys
If you want to donate a toy, pay attention to several options.
- Rattles. This is the very first toy of the kid, at this age the crumbs are able to appreciate the whole charm of the rattling thing. It attracts their hearing, attention, they are happy to look at the rattles, drag them into the mouth. The main thing is that it is small, so that it is convenient to take it. Give up options that can hurt yourself or easily tear off small parts.
- Teethers. This is another hit kids. Active teething can begin at almost any age, but even before it starts, children taste everything, this is how they know the world. Teethers are designed specifically to be nibbled. Here, too, it is important that the baby was comfortable to hold and nibble.
- Little toys. They can be made of plush fabric, equipped with a variety of parts that rustle and squeak. They have tiny mirrors, bright details. Such toys can be hung in a stroller, crib, baby mat, so that the baby touches them, touches them with fingers, and hits them with pens.
In this series can be attributed toys-connectors, which give the child a sense of security confidence, something familiar, when moms are not around.

This is a great gift for both the baby and the parents, because it gives the opportunity to put a crumb for a while and do something during this period, for example, drink coffee or wash the dishes. Choosing a rug, be guided by quality of materials and quantity of toys which can entice him.
- Mobile to the cot or arc with toys. Another way to give young mom a little rest. In the crib, the baby is safe, the mobile is spinning, playing the simplest melodies and attracting the baby. Pediatricians recommend to give preference to models that can be washed, as dust accumulates on rag toys, so they will need to be washed periodically.

clothing
