FAQs

What's the difference between a play gym and a play mat?

A play gym includes hanging toys and an arch for baby to reach and bat at, while a play mat is simply a soft, cushioned surface — many parents use them together for tummy time.

When should I introduce sensory toys?

From birth, babies respond to contrast, texture and sound — simple sensory toys with high-contrast patterns or crinkle textures are great from the newborn stage onward.

Are teethers safe for newborns?

Most teethers are designed for babies once teething begins, typically from 3–4 months, but always check the manufacturer's recommended age range before use.

Why do babies love comforters with taggies?

The sensory ribbon tags give babies something soothing to touch and explore, which can help with self-settling and provide familiar comfort during play or sleep.
