These toys once we hit about five months really made a difference up until around 10 months . Having a wide variety of toys in your arsenal is wonderful because what one won’t do another will it exposes your baby to color textures and sensory exposure and a lot of versatility. I choose to introduce each one after a few weeks your gut should guide you when you think it’s time for another new toy it’s best to have them on hand and change them out as growth occurs. My pediatrician says my LO is advanced and I do believe it is due to the way I introduced these different tools - side note - baby was entertained had fun and wasn’t in pain . A win win for mama and baby!
