Babies: 3 - 6 Months

Baby gear question from a new mama

Hi ladies! My first LO is only 3 weeks, but my family is already asking what DS "wants for Christmas". As a FTM I'd love some advice. We really only have stuff up to 3 months old, but I'm struggling to come up with a list for an older baby. We do have a high chair, stroller, Ergo, and a jumparoo, clothes, but that's really it. What would you suggest? What do you or your LO love at this age? TYIA!

  • If you don't have a playmat, that might be good. LO LOVES hers and it is really easy to take that with you... She also likes toys that crinkle (I hope you know what I mean). She likes the sound and texture of the crinkly toys. And she LOVE LOVE LOVES her lovey. She pulls it to her face and laughs with it, and "talks" to it. And she enjoys her car mirror. We have the Fisher Price one with the hanging animals that plays music. She laughs during car rides now too.

  • It sounds like you're pretty set. Here are a couple of things that have come in handy at my house

    Rock n Play - DS loves hanging out in his, even when he's not going to sleep. 

    Go Baby Go! Gigglin' Bee Ball - DS is currently obsessed with this. 

    Activity mat - we don't have one, but we could really use one. 

  • It sounds like you have a lot of the big ticket items already, but here are some things that may come in handy:

    -Bath seat.  My son is definitely too long for his infant bath tub right nos so we need something else.

    -Even bigger clothes.  We have so many 3-6 month clothes, but don't have much after that.  Just make sure they are appropriate for the season.  I have several shorts outfits that he'll never wear because they are 9 month size, and he'll be 9 months in February.

    -Humidifier.  We run a humidifier in our son's room ever night.  Great white noise and helps with

    -Activity table.  You won't need it for a while, but could be nice to have.

    -Anything for teething.  My son is chewing on everything right now.

    Have fun making your list!

  • CLOTHES CLOTHES CLOTHES! You will be amazed at how quickly they grow :-) and the Rock and Play by Fisher Price is by far our LO's favorite thing that we have. She's been sleeping in it from day one, but also enjoys spending time in it at the table if we have people over for dinner. You can never have enough bibs, and stock up on the Orajel and teething rings. Good luck!
