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.

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!

It’s leaking, sweating, crying, snacking at 2AM, and trying to remember who you were before your left hip started hurting for no reason.
This list is the stuff that actually saves you — the things that stop you from googling “is this normal” at 4AM, the things that make recovery less feral, and the things that make feeding, resting, and surviving feel… doable.
Expect:
✔ products that keep you clean(ish)
✔ things that make your body hurt less
✔ tiny life-saving gadgets you’ll swear by
✔ comfort items that make you feel human again
Basically: all the stuff moms don’t gatekeep once they’re on the other side.
Add what you need → ignore what you don’t → build the version of postpartum that feels good for you.
You deserve ease. Even now. Especially now.
