My top toy recommendations as a speech and feeding therapist for babies ages zero to one year old! I try to recommend toys that will help you teach your baby the skills they need in everyday life. I also love toys that you can invest in and watch your child play with throughout the years.
Each baby, it seems like I bring less and less in my hospital bag. I also now know what my hospital provides and what they don’t, so I know what can just stay at home. I personally don’t need to bring any postpartum care items for myself or any diapers/wipes for baby. I plan on bringing the bare minimum this time!
My daughter has had a Unicorn, PawPatrol, PJ Mask, and Disney Princess birthday parties and is now requesting her next being 6 to be a Tea Party theme (but without the tea only juice mom, she says)! I'm excited!! 😁
I didn’t want to go the medication all the time route for teething and searched for more natural or cleaner options for medications. I also had a ton of Teethers that were given or recommended by my son’s physical therapist after we had his tongue tie released at 14 weeks old. She gave me many she uses to encourage tongue movement and exploration, as well as simply helping to relieve some teething pain and discomfort.
This collection is for places i have personally taken my kids and they enjoyed it. I'll let you know what I didn't enjoy or anything else I think about it. (Ecspecially if I uncover any hidden fun secrets!)

Like most parents, I opt for the shows I grew up watching. I’m also a big believer that the newer shows, with their neon colors and overly animated eyes lead to our children’s behavioral outbursts. Not to say I count out every newer show as some are good and some of us prefer them. In the end our kiddos decide if they like them or not.
