Recommended Baby Toys for 5 Months+


One of my favorite resources for mom advice is from a Facebook group called December 2021 Babies. The group is an open forum for parents to chat about their babies born in December 2021, whether they were delivered on time, early, or late. Here is the collected list of the recommended baby toys for 5 months+ in this group.

I highly recommend finding a Facebook group based on your baby’s age. It’s been so informative to hear from other parents with similar-aged babies.

As a result of joining this group, I have found some of the best toys for Izzy. As she is now five months old, she is in the stage where she can be alert and entertained, in addition, she can hold on to toys and play on her own.

Based on the feedback from the parents, here is the list of recommended baby toys for 5 months+.
