Features of age from birth to 6 months

In order for the gift to please the baby, to be interesting and useful to him, we need to consider what is typical for this period of child development. In addition, do not forget that the baby grows very quickly, and each subsequent month after birth is marked by new skills and abilities.

It is probably wrong to pose the question of what a child should be able to do at a given age, because children are all different; rather, the task of adults should be competent education, and even gifts - toys and other necessary things - should contribute to this.

Advice. When purchasing a gift for a child in an online store, do not forget to enter the secret word to receive a discount. See current code words in Labyrinth, My-shop and Ozone stores here

Research and cognitive activity in babies from birth is expressed in the manipulation of various objects, the main of which in the first months is a rattle. And only from 5 months the baby begins to be interested in studying the properties of individual objects.

Therefore, children's gifts can be different:

• entertaining toys - pyramids, rattles, soft rubber squeaky toys, plastic and rubber bathing toys in the form of ducks, fish, turtles, boats;
• educational ones, which are mobiles, musical pendants, large bright pictures;
• useful, practical gifts - children's bedding, clothes, diapers, perhaps even more serious household items - a child's car seat, a stroller, in a word, something that the baby needs, but the parents did not have time to buy.

Since at the age of six months the child’s hearing, vision and touch are actively developing, emphasis can be placed on this. A one-month-old baby needs bright, one-color toys of different shapes; at three months he can perceive sound well, and this makes it possible to choose singing and dancing figures, music boxes and carousels as gifts.

It should be taken into account that red, blue and yellow rattles, balls and animal figurines should appear in the baby’s arsenal, since these are the first colors that he distinguishes.

Up to six months, boys and girls can be given the same gifts, excluding clothing - for babies of different sexes it has a lot of differences, including color.

Baby's first wardrobe

What clothes can you give to a newborn? Children at this age don't need a lot of outfits. They grow out of them faster than in a month.

For a newborn, it is better to choose things of a simple and comfortable cut made from natural materials without decorations.

• Cocoon diapers with zippers or Velcro are suitable in the warm season. For parents who do not welcome swaddling, they will be especially useful.
• Bodysuits, suits, overalls.
• Tights, socks and booties.
• The hats are homemade and insulated.
• Transformable envelopes - during the cold season. When unfolded, it is a blanket or play mat.
• Human costumes are overalls with closed arms and legs, with buttons from the neck to the heels.

Rules for choosing toys for children

The requirements for toys for small children are quite strict. In addition to the attractive appearance, other nuances are also important:

1. The safety of any object in the hands of a baby comes first. First of all, it must be a high-quality material that does not contain toxic substances, there should be no small parts that the baby can swallow; it is good if the toy is whole - it will be impossible to disassemble it.
2. Musical toys should have a gentle, quiet melody; when choosing, you should avoid things with a sharp and low sound, which can scare the baby.
3. Any toy must meet age requirements; usually, such information is indicated on the packaging.
4. It is also important that items purchased for a newborn can be washed and cleaned regularly without losing their quality, so the practicality of the chosen toy also matters, but mainly for the family budget.
5. It is better not to give soft toys to small children, since they intensively absorb dust and often cause allergies in children.

When purchasing a gift for a child for 1 month or six months, you always need to make sure of the quality of the product - you cannot buy dubious toys with an unnatural or synthetic smell, the presence of defects and the absence of a certificate. A multifunctional toy that will occupy several of the baby's senses at once, the best choice for a baby under six months of age.

The best gift for a 1-3 month old boy

From the first days of life, a man is a model of brutality and strength, so things for them must be appropriate. In addition, such humorous gift ideas for sons are especially popular with young fathers and grandfathers.

• Pacifiers with mustaches.
• Body shirts with a tie design.
• Caps with the inscription “Boss”.

If funny gifts don’t suit you, then you can give:

• Themed furniture for the nursery: crib, high chair, cabinet, made in the shape of cars or airplanes. Wall panels depicting technology. A shelf for a boy's future toy car fleet.
• Clothes: underwear, suits, hats and outerwear with images of dinosaurs, heroes and ships.
• Sleeping toys, knocking games, garlands for the stroller.

Universal gifts for a girl

If you haven’t yet gotten to know a girl’s tastes very well and are afraid to choose something very individual, you can prepare a gift that will not leave any representative of the fair sex indifferent:

• Bouquet of flowers . There are statistics that only 70% of girls like to be given flowers, while the rest prefer something more practical. But any girl will appreciate attention from her beloved, and a bouquet is precisely a sign that expresses feelings. In two months, you have already learned exactly what flowers your loved one prefers, so you can choose a beautiful composition.
• Sweets . A box of chocolates, a composition of sweets or an interesting cake will appeal to most girls.
• Frame . This is a cute and non-binding gift that will be a reminder of your little anniversary. You can print out a photo of you or her and put it in a frame.
• Book . If your girlfriend loves to read, then you probably already know her preferences, so you can choose the publication of your favorite author.
• Vase or box . These are cute souvenirs that also have practical uses. This gives hope that they will not gather dust on a shelf in the company of useless figurines.

Such gifts are suitable for a girl of any age and position. They do not require mutual “giving” and will cheer up your beloved.

Solutions that will never become obsolete

Similar to ideas for boys, we have compiled the TOP 4 best gifts for little girls. The suggestions below will allow you to quickly figure out what to give your friends for such a significant event as the arrival of a new family member.

1. Children's personalized bodysuit. Such a purchase will allow you to simultaneously present a memorable and useful gift that adults will definitely appreciate. And the baby will be delighted with the new clothes.
2. Car seat. Even if your parents don’t have a car, your gift will often be needed when traveling by taxi or in a friend’s car.
3. A sling backpack especially for an active mother.
4. Educational toys. There are models created from different fabric bases. The baby will be happy to study the gift you presented.

You can also use the solutions that were proposed for boys. At this stage, children do not understand gender, so you can forget about it for now. Almost all ideas fall into the “unisex” category.

Important nuances of choosing the right memorable gift

We continue to figure out what to give a baby for 2 months. The girl is a little princess who will very soon become a sensitive girl. The giver can take a cunning path and offer a memory as a gift. Various memorable gifts have already been listed above, but there are more ideas.

For example, you can pay for a family photo session or a personal one for a newborn. Often the studio gives cute costumes for children, which can help you find a beautiful look for your little one. Similar to photography, hand and foot prints can serve as keepsakes. There are special kits that allow you to quickly make an impression without harm to the child.

For parents of a newborn

First of all, you need to please young parents with gifts, especially if their child is the first-born in the family. A dozen ideas are dedicated to those gifts that will restore family routine and simplify caring for the baby.

1. Baby monitor. A wonderful device that signals a busy mother in the kitchen that her baby is waking up. Buy a baby monitor with a long range, a sturdy body and two-way communication. The design is not important - this is not a toy, but it would be nice if the “nanny” had an additional function of lullaby music.

2. Video baby monitor. The child can always be under control, even if he is alone at home. The principle is clear - there is a video camera in the room that displays the image on a smartphone. Even if mom needs to run out somewhere for a second or do household chores, she can see perfectly well what her little one is doing.

3. Timer clock. It is very difficult to get used to the routine after the baby is born. After all, everything needs to be done literally in minutes. Don’t try to complicate the gift with some modern bells and whistles; give an ordinary desktop timer that is simple and easy to use so that parents can learn to navigate time.

4. Sling backpack. It will be needed, of course, not from the first days, but by the age when the baby begins to sit down a little. But it’s so convenient - you don’t have to take the child in your arms all the time, which should be free - the baby just sits in his backpack, hugging mom (or dad).

5. Stroller with carrycot. The best invention that could ever be invented! Cool transport from the first days of the baby’s birth - no “handles” and a real street cradle. Choose a transformable stroller that is light, has good shock absorption and always has a carrying cradle inside.

6. Snood for feeding. A snood is a wide scarf that looks like a stole. But the main function of the snood is to keep the baby away from prying eyes while feeding in a public place. Give a snood in the shape of a trapezoid for easy fixation on the shoulder.

7. Blender. The child will grow, he will need to switch to complementary foods - liquid porridge, as well as fruit and meat purees. Many mothers prefer to cook them themselves. You definitely need a blender - immersion or with a double boiler function.

8. Baby food warmer. It's so difficult to get up and cook in the middle of the night if your baby is bottle-fed! And expressed breast milk should also be warm. This is why heaters are needed, operating on the principle of a water bath.

9. Money. Of course, this is what baby parents always need. How many things you still need to buy after his birth! Then give them money in an envelope - let them figure out what to spend it on.

10. Gift certificate to a children's store. Another good and correct option. If there is a large supermarket in the city for the little ones, they probably have certificates for a certain amount. Here's a gift idea for you!

5. Embroidered metric. You need to take on such work in advance and cross-stitch the main design, for example, a stork carrying a child. But when the baby is born, you need to embroider his date of birth in the center, and you can also embroider his height and weight.

All! As you can see, it’s quite easy to choose a gift for a newborn boy, no difficulties at all. Well, in addition to the present, buy a corresponding postcard and sign it, choosing warm parting words for the baby and his parents.
