Q. I went to target today to find a toy for my 5 week old, but I dont know what kind of toy to get her. I know they say to get ones that are black and white and maybe red. I thought about getting her the floor gyms but they are $30-50, would it be good to get it for her now or should I wait until shes a little bit older? I just feel like shes bored.. i know i know dumb feeling....
another weird thing that just came to me-do you think babys are affraid of the dark? I know that they where in the dark for 9 months but now that they are out in the real world could it happen? I have noticed that when she is fussy at night and shes laying on my chest she wines a little bit but when i put on our light on low she falls asleep pretty fast.. so am I crazy or could she be affraid of the dark??

Answer
The floor gyms are actually better now then later. The reasoning for this is that once they start moving around they won't use it as much, I started using one when she was a month old and had her do her "tummy time" on it and what not. Other toys or things to buy that I would recommend is soft books because it is an easy way for you to interact with her but she can also play with it on her own. Anything else like the soft blocks, or soft rattles, etc. Babies at this age don't actually play with too much but if you want to have these things around for when she does its easier than running out and buying it all at once.
As for being scared of the dark, my daughter is just over a year now and still sleeps with a soft light on in the hall outside of her room. she never slept in the complete dark without crying!

What is normal behavior for a 9 month old infant girl?
Q. My daughter just turned 9 months and she likes to throw tantrums and cling on to my legs especially when i am cleaning, she doesn't like to eat her baby food, she always wants what I have. She is constantly putting EVERYTHING in her mouth and loves to play with my keys, she pushes all her toys around on the floor including my cell phone. She doesn't want to play with her toys only what I have and she wakes up about 5 times a night and won't go back to sleep unless she gets her bottle. I am trying to ween her off the bottle like pediatricians have told me but she won't have it. After reading some of the developmental skills of other 9 month old infants I am scared that she might be slower than her peers. I am a young new mommy and am worried about my angel.
Would you suggest any books on the sleeping portion? I am relieved to know that she is a normal little girl :) I just hope that her behavior improves and soon!!!

you daughter doesnt sound slow except the waking up i know to get my daughter out of that i started using the cry it out so she would learn to self sooth and it has worked great she sleeps through the night every night and has since about 6 months and slept through almost every night since 4 months i know i no longer rock her to sleep though i stopped that at 6 months because i would rock her till she was out and the second i went to place her down she would wake so i would have to redo it all over. as for the bottle my daughter was having a tough time with the cups but i finally have one that works for her its kinda like the take and toss by first year only its made by munchkin its called the twist tight it has a really easy to drink from cover since it has no valves and it is the only cup my daughter can drink from it can leak though but i dont worry about a few drops cause it doesnt pour out or anything.
walmart sells those cups mixed in with the Disney/ nick jr cups they are like $4 for 3 of them but you have to read the package closey cause i know the walmart near me only has them with dora and spongbob the rest are different and dont work the same.
