I have a 6 month old daughter and I just recently began sitting for a 5 1/2 month old girl also.
I have all the big stuff (swing, jumparoo', entertainer, etc...) and lots of rattles, balls, stuffed animals...but am looking for other toys that might keep their interest longer and help them learn as well.
Any recommendations/links would be helpful!

I have an in-home daycare...currently I have 4 infants that range from 4 months to 11 months, here are the favorites:

The 6 months olds can close them easily, around 10 months they learn to open them also.

This is an expensive one but well worth the investment in my opinion...it keeps ages 6 months all the way to 4 years old occupied

Another big one, but it's great for kids around 6-10 months learning how to put things into other things, plus the balls themselves are entertainment :)

Great for crawlers, fun to chase :)

Pretty much any type of activity table is a must once they hit around 6-7 months, they are great for learning to stand and play
Well I could go on and on...I have a zillion toys and the kids love most of them...if you'd like more ideas let me know, I'd be happy to help!

How do you help your infant learn to self soothe?

Answer
When my son showed interested in his fish crib toy, we made it his sleep soother.
Sometimes it can be a gradual process. Just dont try to rush it or it will never work.
they way we did it was:
put him to sleep like we normally did. After putting him down, we turned on the fish ( its the ocean wonder one) for a few cycles during the night.
the next night, we put him now asleep but still awake a bit and did it again.
the third night we put him down as he was falling asleep and turned it on. he put himself right to sleep.
now we just put him down when he starts to try and snuggle into my arm and he watches it for a bit then goes to sleep. we do the same for naptime. worked very well and took only a week.
good luck!
