At four months, I saw quite a bit of change with my girl. She began showing her first signs of teething, became interested in toys, shapes and colors, and also tried her first taste of rice cereal and baby food! And with her growth, things that she liked the first few months of her life, aren't really what she likes anymore. So, I have made a list of the top 4 products that I think are perfect to introduce to your child when they hit 4 months, to help with learning, teething, and more!
1. Little Einstein Jumper
I love this activity jumper because it has so many great things for her to play with that help her learn. Just last week she taught herself how to spin the wheel on it by herself. Not only could the toys keep her entertained for quite some time, but it allows me to get things done around the house while knowing my girl is being entertained and learning. This product runs for just under $100 brand new., However, I would check out your local children's resale stores where you can sometimes find them for half the price!
2. Nuby Bug-a-loop Teether
Out of all the teething toys and pacifiers we have tried, this is the one that has been her favorite. I think this is a great teether because unlike the rest, this is big enough for her to pick back up when she drops it out of her mouth. It also is not one you freeze, so you don't have to worry about the coldness upsetting them if it touches their skin. I also like that it is a larger teether because the smaller paci-like ones, go missing like socks go missing in the dryer! This teether is a two-in-one, it helps with her sore gums, but it is also a toy for her with all the shapes and colors on the ring. It is less than $5, so you can't really go wrong with this product, which can be purchased here.
3. Munchkins Baby Food Feeder
At 4 months, my pediatrician gave us the green light on introducing small amounts of baby food. I was so excited for this simply because I wanted to see her reaction to tasting something other than her milk. However, I was a bit unsure of how I wanted to give it to her. When I saw this product I knew it would be perfect for her first time trying baby food! So far we've tried 'mango apple banana', which she loved, and 'peaches', which...she is not a fan of! This product can be found here. Another great product for introducing foods to your baby is the Munchkins Fresh Food Feeder. This one is slightly different because in this one you put frozen foods and they are able to suck on it through the mesh. This one can be found here. Both products are super cheap, and I think they are safe way to let your baby try their first tastes of solid foods!
4. BreathableBaby Wick-Dry Plush Sheet Saver
This product is the acception for this post because if I would have known about this when she was first born, I would have bought it then! But anyways. For awhile we were just using a blanket over the sheets to try and 'save' the sheet from having to be washed daily. But... it didn't work, and the spit up would just seep through the blanket right onto the sheet. It became something that bugged me so bad, I thought, theres got to be something out there for this problem. Of course there was, they've came up with everything. I love this product because it saves me from having to strip her crib daily. It just ties to the bars on the side of the crib, and it is so easy to pull out, clean, and put right back in. It is also a much softer fabric than most crib sheets are, which I would image makes for a more comfortable sleep for baby. This product can be found here.
