I have a dd that will be 4 months old next week. I've not bought too many things for her so far. She has 1 book and about 5 soft toys of different textures and crinkly bits/rattles. I've never been too bothered about a play mat, jumperoo. I have received a few raised eyebrows when people have found out I don't have much.
I feel like everyone around me with babies of a similar age are surrounding their DC with every flashy thing they can get their hands on. I'm starting to question whats best and if having lots of flashy, bouncy, all singing and dancing toys would make a difference to her.
In other words, am I hindering her development by not having lots of these things that are deemed essential by some? What do you think?
Do you have lots of toys or very little? Why?
