Toy suggestions!

We’re currently designing a wishlist for Xmas for our little one who is 7m old.

What sort of toys would you guys recommend for us?

Ideally things that help with development and things without batteries / flashing lights / music please!

We’ve already got megabloks, a ragdoll and musical instruments on the list 🎁

Thank you in advance!

Nursery, how would you feel

My baby’s been in nursery for the last 5 months and after a long process of settling he seems happy. However, I’ve had a number of issues over this time I’ve not felt overly happy about. Now I’m at a point of considering re visiting other nurseries which feels huge knowing my sons established himself somewhere. Something that was really important to my husband and I was that the childcare setting took the babies out every so often. My son has not been out once since he started so spends 8hrs in one room. He really struggles to sleep whilst there and being in the same room for that many hours probably doesn’t help. I never get any updates in the week, never see any photos of him and on the blog posts he never appears in any photos. He has a key worker (newly assigned) but I’m not sure on the purpose of her as she’s hardly in and has never spoken to me. Then yesterday I collected him and he stunk of 💩. Got home and realised his nappy was dirty and clearly hadn’t been changed for a while. I keep telling myself as he’s happy and we’ve established our routine we are better off keeping going as changing setting is a huge decision make but I don’t know if it is worth checking a few other places out as this current one is the only one we visited originally

Does anybody else go for walks everyday with their baby? I sometimes I find it hard getting out when the weather cold..

At what age do you think kids develop their core memories?

The internet says around 3yo they start to form.

Last night, whilst my daughter was having her bath, she said 'mummy & daddy don't play with me...' to herself but I was in there with her & her dad was downstairs & heard her say it.

It made me incredibly sad as we do play with her - especially her dad.

I will hold my hands up & say that I'm terrible for using my phone when in her presence - especially after a long day at work where I just want to disassociate 🫣😫 but I do put it down when she wants my attention (her dad is guilty of this too).

I'm just worried that I've created a core memory for her that 'mum's always on her phone' 😫😭

I've asked Chat gpt for some activities I can do once she's back from nursery & I'm back from work & starting today, I'm leaving my phone upstairs whilst we do some of those activities together cuz I never wanna hear her sound so sad again 🥹

Anyone else been in a similar situation?
