The best toys for babies are safe, durable, and developmentally appropriate. Sensory toys, soft rattles, stacking cups, and blocks help support learning and motor skills. Avoid toys with small parts, harsh chemicals, and overly structured play features to encourage creativity and safe exploration.

Babies develop at different rates, but milestones in movement, communication, and social skills help track their growth. If a baby shows signs of delayed development, such as difficulty sitting, not responding to sounds, or lack of eye contact, parents should seek advice from healthcare professionals. Early intervention supports healthy growth and development.
