For those who are expecting their first baby, knowing which items will help your baby learn and grow, which will interest and excite them and which will simply take up room and serve no use at all can be a tricky thing to establish. When you think about baby mobiles, there is a very good chance that you already know that we are not talking about cell phones here. Having said that, it might not be as easy to know exactly how buying such cot toys will help benefit your newborn child.
Anything that moves, has bright colours and makes sounds will help stimulate your child’s brain in some manner. Baby mobiles are particularly good for helping your child to start focussing their eyes in the correct way, allowing their eyes to get the exercise they really need in the first few months. They also stimulate your child to get used to following items as they move, something vital for all human beings, and a mobile will help them to exercise this skill right from the very start.
They can help you too as repetitive sounds and movements will help the baby rest and feel relaxed, making your life a great deal easier.
If your cot toys have music, this will also help improve your child’s listening skills, as well as help to increase their potential to learn later in life. Calming music stimulates the brain and the right music has been linked to increased intelligence in later life.
In the early years of life, a child can see very little and focussing for any prolonged time is a problem. A mobile allows your child to have something very simple and easy to focus on, letting them feel more at ease and allowing their brain to be exercised in just the right way, exactly when it needs to be.
