My three month old son is now laughing, playing, and always finding new ways to melt his mommy’s heart! As he grows, he is recognizing more things and enjoys interacting. Every day, we have quiet play. It’s a time set aside for interaction, touching and development while he is relaxed in a calm and comforting environment. Infantino designed their Comforting Play Collection with this type of “quiet state” play in mind. The Comforting Play Collection features toys that are soft, simple and made to calm and soothe baby. It’s during this time that I notice my son inspecting and grabbing his toys while he is relaxed and happy.
After watching my son play with toys from the Comforting Play Collection I have a few favorites:
Binky Buddy – Helps to keep baby’s pacifier at their fingertips. This sweet plush pal is easy to grasp and fun to snuggle.
When I first saw this item I was very skeptical if he would use it. It’s a soft bear that has a Velcro attachment to connect a pacifier. After using it, it’s number one on my list of favorites. I gave it to him when he was tired and cranky but refusing to take a nap. Almost instantly, he sucked on the pacifier and wrapped both hands around the bear and the small blanket attached. He fell asleep with the bear in his hands. Now it’s my go to companion when he’s in need of nap.
All Around 1-2-3 Teether – Grow-with-me teether set for three stages of teething relief!
My son is already at the age where everything he grabs goes straight to his mouth. He is able to grab the circular ring and use this teeting ring. The Infantino teether is BPA free and has 3 different textures for different stages of teething.
Sweet Serenade Crib Toy – Six adorable crib companions take baby on a soothing journey through sunny days and starry nights.
This crib toy is light-weight and easy to install. I use it as a distraction during diaper changes. He would rather watch the entertaining characters than kick, squirm, or cry while I change his diaper.
Hug &Tug Wooly – With all natural wool filling and easy-to-grasp soft knots it’s perfect for little hands.
This little guy fits right in his hands. He can grab and hold onto the knots and he really likes tossing him around.
Wrist and Foot Rattles – Encourage little ones to discover and explore with their hands and feet!
These make for a fun playtime. I like watching him trying to figure out where the rattling noise is coming from.
Sweet Bee Scented Pal – Soothe your little busy bee with this calming scented companion.
This cute, little bee smells like lavender and is very entertaining. The wings make a crinkling sound that is fun for baby to grab and crinkle. It can attach to your baby’s stroller or car seat for fun on the go.
These toys would make a perfect gift for a mom-to-be. They are the kind of items that a new mom needs but just doesn’t know it yet. As a new mom I remember focusing on the big items, but these toys make interacting and playing with a new baby fun. You can add one or two to a big gift for the perfect addition to your gift wrapping or make a basket with your favorites. One of my favorite baby shower gifts to give is a gift basket of items that I know the new baby will use. I add lotion, diaper cream, shampoo, and diapers. In the future I plan on incorporating Comforting Play toys. Another great feature of the Comforting Play Collection is that all of the toys have gender neutral colors. They are perfect for any baby.

I always really enjoyed their products when my kids were babies. Do you know if they do any kind of charitable giving?
What adorable toys and such a little sweetie you have!
What a cute little guy! And those toys are so amazing. I will have to look into those for our next little one
What a great set of baby items! Too bad my kids are too old for them now – will keep them in mind for baby shower gifts though!

Those all look so great! I wish we had those when my son was a baby!
