Talking, singing, and playing games like peek-a-boo are fun ways to stimulate a baby’s brain, but baby toys are also an essential component of healthy brain development. Different types of toy textures for the baby to touch are beneficial, such as soft organic baby toys, and toys that make noise encourage the baby to learn how to control her hearing.
The baby’s ability to focus his vision is aided by picture books or toys composed of bold patterns in bright colors or black and white, and mobiles hung twelve to eighteen inches above the baby will amuse her as well as help her sight. Teething toys are very important and provide comfort to parents and baby. As your baby grows and matures, it’s important to get them new playthings that continue to challenge them and foster learning. Whether the baby is splashing in the tub, cutting a tooth, or just relaxing with a cuddly stuffed friend, seeing a baby you love playing with toys is some of the most fun you’ll have together.

We all want to have fun and enjoy this holiday weekend, but we also want it to be a safe time for all. Special care needs to be taken with our little ones. The younger the more protection they will need. Remember, it is going to be HOT!!! The type of baby clothing you choose for your baby to wear makes a big difference.
Just because it is hot, it does not mean that you do not put clothes on baby. Baby clothes is one way to protect their skin from sun and winds. Keep it light and loose. Check with your pediatrician about putting sun screen products on your baby and what type in kind that he/she thinks is best. A sun hat is always a winner or baby or yourself. Have fun and enjoy the time with your family and friends, but also be aware.
When baby starts to crawl, what is the thing you always see? Her little tush, of course. And maybe those icky diapers. It is never to early for any young lady to want pretty lingerie. Especially if it is in constant view. Babies Only has the answer for her. Personalized diaper covers. A very important part of baby clothes for the young lady.
You will find diaper covers with different embroidery designs on them as well as in different colors. Depending on the design on the the diaper cover, you may have several colors or color combinations from which to choose. These complete the dress of the day. They also make a wonderful gift. Personalize it with baby name. All is not lost after the little lady is out of diapers , as they can be worn as regular little girl panties. There are sizes for even newborns and they go up to 24 months size.
You have heard people say: How can something so little have so much stuff? Well, maybe one reason is that as adults, we have had many years to accumulate our stuff. But for baby, it is all at one time. The one thing that you keep buying is baby clothes. Reason? Baby grows.
We are delighted at Babies Only to help with this little problem. There are many clothing lines out there, but one helps by providing value. That is Vitamins. Much of their line of baby clothes is multi pieces sold as a set. By set, we mean onesie, footed romper, pants, cap, bibs, sock booties. The style varies, but the value does not. Some are 3 pieces and some are up to 6 pieces in a set. The picture shows 6 pieces to this set. The pink and lime is so very in this season. Pink is always baby girl. These sets are 100% cotton knit. Great for day and night. Mix and match as you choose. Check out other sets at www.babiesonlyonline.com
When it comes to our babies, we only want the most comfortable, safest items we can find. We don’t want anything that could cause them harm or even mild discomfort. Organic swaddle blankets help keep our babies warm and snug. And because they are made from organically grown material, we can be assured that no toxins or chemicals were used in the manufacturing process. This makes it completely non-toxic and reliable for infant use.
Your baby is guaranteed a good night’s rest when swaddled in an organic baby blanket. Swaddling has been used for hundreds of years to soothe and coddle distraught children, and now you can participate in this age long practice without exposing your child to chemicals.
The first question that people ask about organic baby clothes is why should I buy organic? There can be many different reasons, but the first is maybe I want to protect by baby in every way possible.
The main fiber in most baby clothes is cotton. How cotton is grown is important because chemicals that are used on cotton plants stay in the cotton all the way to the finished garment. Chemicals that are used in growing and manufacturing cotton clothing are petroleum based and do not wash out.
Five pesticides that are commonly used on cotton plants and in fabricating are cancer causing. They are: cyanazine, dicofol, naled, progargite, and trifuralin. Also in manufacturing baby clothes the manufacturer will use dyes. Dyes can cause serious allergic reactions and side effects. For organic baby clothes, the manufacturer will have used dyes that a natural product. True organic baby clothes will be certified by an independent firm. Thus insuring that the clothing is organic from the farms, where the cotton is grown, to the manufacturer and the completed product.

Bath time for baby should be a fun, relaxing time for your baby. And for you too. If you start out with this in mind, you and baby will do just fine. Your pediatrician will tell you how to go about bathing your newborn. Having some cute hooded baby towels can add to the fun. Relax and take your time and everything will go OK.
Most babies enjoy their bath time. There are a few simple rules to help you and baby. First decide where you are going to bathe baby. It can be the sink, or tub or maybe you have one of the bath tubs for babies that are on the market. Before you start, gather everything that you will need. A towel or soft cloth to place baby on while in the tub, to keep baby from slipping. You will need a soft cloth to wash and a towel (a hooded baby towel is great) or blanket to dry baby. Use mild soap (there are many good baby soaps on the market). And a clean diaper and clothes.
Water should be warm, not hot. Test the water temperature by placing your elbow in the water. Remember, baby’s skin is very delicate and can burn very easy.
Never, I mean NEVER, NEVER, NEVER, for any reason leave baby alone. It you have to answer the phone or answer the door, or any other thing, you take baby with you. Dripping wet and all.
As baby gets older, he/she will want to play in the water. Bath toys are many and can be a great thing. Just remember all the safety rules. And if you get a little wet too, you are not made of sugar and will not melt. Babies grow up in a hurry and this is a time that you will remember years from now, so make it good and fun for all.
