Baby musical toys are a fantastic toddler gift. Not only they are fun to play with but also offer subconcious education in music and sound. Remember that babies react to music from their earliest days. It can help them calm down. It can make them fall asleep. It is also not uncommon for them to react to it with a smile. Most of baby toys - including those making sound - focus on touch which could include pressing a button, turning something around or pressing a switch. From early days it helps understanding cause and effect but also familirise with different types of sound. Here are a few great ideas to for musical toys.
Kids piano: Fun and Easy Learning
Almost every parent today wants their child to be a talented and accomplished individual, often registering them in several classes that range from judo to spelling. Before you go that far, why don't you start some basic education at home. There won't be a professional teacher there or professional musical instruments but in early development stages toy piano is going to be just enough. These kids pianos have tinny sound resembling bells rather than piano but the tones they make are natural - just like in the real instrument. Only once you have found out that your kid enjoys to learn the piano, enroll them in a kids piano class. This process will help you ensure that he/she enjoys from learning the arts.
Apparently, learning is lifetime and may come at any age, but toy piano is simply a something that parents should consider for their children. Many people find it elite and special seeing children at an early age being able to amazingly play musical instruments.
Baby Grand Piano - Just The Right Fit
Not sure which piano to choose from our offer? A baby grand piano may be the right choice. It is more natural than its smaller versions and has more keys to play with. The benefit of a toy baby grand piano is that it can fit both the space you have and the available budget. You will pay over $200 for it but that's still less than thousands of dollars for the real grand piano. Whether you play to practice or for fun will give you and your child a lot of enjoyment. The sound (although tinny just like any other toy piano) can turn your house or apartment into a concert hall. Our store offers Schoenhut and Vilac pianos, both including grand pianos
Conclusion
The demand for musical toys has seen a constant rise in the past decade and credit for this can be given to the findings of various studies. These studies have helped in creating awareness amongst the parents about the benefits of these toys. Therefore, the popularity of toy piano, toy guitar or kids drum set has increased in Australia as well as other developed countries.
However, while buying any toy for your toddler it is important that you buy a toy of his or her choice, avoid imposing your choice as this can lead to loss of interest. Durability is another factor which should be taken into account while making any purchase. Buy toys according to the age of your child and last but not the least ensure that the toys are safe for the kid and are free of lead and mercury. There are a variety of musical toys available at reasonable price. All you need is to come and visit our site motherandbabyshop.com.au.

How Can a Baby Play Pen Help a Busy Mum
Not so long ago baby playpen was quite common among parents. Even our grandparents used baby playpens on day to day basis. However, in the past few years, their popularity has declined because of certain worries among parents that they are “locking” their kids and restrain their freedom to explore.
Some claim that using a baby play pen will cause “neurological disorganization” and draws a link between parents who use baby play pens and those who “chained children to bedposts or locked them in closets” causing them to become “idiots [who] only grew to half their normal size.”. This kind of crazy comparison leads parents to the other extreme where, to avoid being child abusing monsters, will not place their children in large secure areas with toys for short periods.
We do not seem to worry about the damage we might be doing to our children when we confine them to a pram or a car seat or a toddler high chair or a fenced playground. Thus, we see no reason why a medium to large playpen cannot be part of a range of gear used to keep our children safe and facilitate everyday life, when used in moderation. Of course, we agree it would be wrong to keep a child in a playpen all day. Besides, the baby in such cases is smarter than us and if left there for too long, they will loudly inform us that it is time to do something else. However, we do not support the view that using play pens for a reasonable amount of time is harmful.
The playpen is a safe place to leave your child when you need to have a shower or hang out laundry or any other time you cannot directly supervise them. It then becomes a real life saver. If you have let them spend time in the playpen from a young age you child will most likely enjoy this space (provided you make it fun and do not use it as a punishment place) and happily play while you are busy. If your baby is in the playpen for short periods of time, and other times free to explore more freely, you are damaging them no more than if you sometimes restrict your baby’s movement when walking to the shops, or driving to a park.
You can get the bulk of your chores done in one go and then are better able to give your child all your focus later, rather than splitting your attention all day. By spending time on independent play, your child is learning valuable emotional and physical skills, feeling confident in your absence and experimenting autonomously.
Like so many things in life, moderation is the key. A playpen should not be a place to dump your baby while you lounge around drinking wine and sneering at parents who say babies are hard work. But if you use your playpen for short periods of time, to allow your baby to play in a secure and safe environment, when you cannot be as hands on as you need to be, you won’t regret adding one to your home.

Pigeon Peristaltic Teats vs. NUK Anti Colic Teats
You may be thinking to shift your baby’s feeding from breast to bottle. If so, then you should keep few things in mind while choosing a teat for your little one.
Nipple confusion is a very critical factor when you shift your baby from breast to bottle, especially if you want to continue breastfeeding beside using a bottle for additional feeding. You definitely want to select a teat that would allow your baby to maintain his or her natural feeding behavior. Luckily, you have a couple of options to choose from, when it comes to providing best feeding experience for your baby.
You can choose Pigeon Peristaltic Teat or NUK Anti Colic Teat, depending on your preferences and needs for your baby feeding habit.
Pigeon Peristaltic Teat
Pigeon Peristaltic Teats is a new generation teat that provides calming and soothing feeding experience to your baby. Pigeon Peristaltic Teats designed to closely resemble mother’s nipple during feeding. This shape preventsthe child from nipple confusion while shifting him or her from breast to bottle. Pigeon teats have been designed to mimic and promote the natural sucking action of babies. This is called 'Peristaltic motion'.
Pigeon Peristaltic Teat comes in four different sizes to choose from depending on your baby’s age. S-size is for small (0-3 months) babies with slow flow. M-Size is for 2 to 3 months old babies with variable flow need. Y-Size is also for 2 to 3 months old babies who don’t like M or L size flow. L-Size is for 3 months and older babies.
All Pigeon Peristaltic teats are made of BPA-free PP plastic in an ergonomic design. So you don’t have to be worried about any BPA effects on your child’s health. They also fit Pigeon baby bottles however remember that some of them have been specifically designed for wide neck or slim neck bottles.
NUK Anti Colic Teat
NUK Anti Colic Teat is also designed to resemble mother’s nipple during breastfeeding to avoid nipple confusion for the child. NUK teat fits in the child’s mouth naturally and facilitates the development of baby’s mouth muscles. The NUK Shape is also perfectly right for baby’s jaw.
NUK Anti Colic teat is designed to provide an air-system which reduces the amount of the air to be swallowed by the child during bottle feeding. This process decreases the chances of baby getting abdominal pain due the air swallowed.
NUK Anti Colic teats also come in different sizes and vary in flows. Sizes M and L both are for 6 to 18 months old babies. M-Size has moderate flow for the babies who don’t swallow fast. L-Size is for the babies with fast flow needs. Sizes S and M are available, for 0 to 6 months old babies, with less flow for little ones.
Make your choice
Both brands provide some common features like design and shape of the teat which resemble mother’s nipple during breastfeeding. Because of this ergonomic design and shape, the baby doesn’t feel nipple confusion. Both brands are made of BPA-free plastic and have different sizes to provide your baby’s required flow.
However, if your baby is sensitive to abdominal gas, and frequently gets abdominal pain or fullness, you should consider NUK Anti Colic teat to ease your baby’s stomach.
On the other hand, if you feel your baby is sensitive to sucking behaviour and may resist bottle feeding if it’s too hard for them, then you may choose Pigeon Peristaltic teat that provides extra help to your baby’s jaw and tongue while sucking.

Why do babies suck a soother or their own thumb
Babies feel a natural urge to suck. A Soother, teether, pacifier or dummy is one of these helpful baby things that help with relaxing your child. The NUK Soother shape depends on a mother's nipple during breastfeeding and adapts ergonomically to the baby's jaw. It is delicate and adaptable with enough space for the tongue and places no pointless weight on the jaw and teeth. Orthodontic shape of NUK dummies fits the infant's sense of taste.
NUK Soothers are a very high quality baby supplies that have been designed and manufactured using dental wellbeing specialists. While your little one sucks on the dummy, she developes her muscles and culminating the coordination between the jaw, sense of taste, tongue and lips. This also helps with developing proper breathing and adequately anticipates misalignment of the teeth. Dummy clips are the perfect method for guaranteeing your infant/baby does not drop or lose their spurious when you are out, sparing you the expense of replacing lost dummy.
Remember that infant's mouth changes gradually in the young months of their life. In order to ensure that a dummy fits consummately at any stage, NUK provides different sizes of dummies. Remember that soothers need to be cleaned each time before use. Pigeon Cleanser is a sample product that disinfect soothers. Others use more natural methods, for example putting it into a microwave sterilizer.
Until what age can you expect children to such on dummies or their own thumbs? Remember, that regardless of their age, they do it because it calms them down. It could be when they try to fall asleep, it could also be when they have just finished crying and need something to calm down. Don't get too comfortable with that habit though. Sooner or later you will have a major problem though when sucking thumb or dummy becomes the favourite and the only way of comforting.
The good news is the most of babies will be done with thumb sucking by the age of 1. The real problem begins when they still suck thumbs after turning 4 as it may negatively affect their jaw line or teeth development. If you are concerned about thumb sucking you can always try a spray like Thumbs Away that can be bought in most of pharmacies. Yes, we have tried this and it works for some time but more persistent babies will simply lick the spray off their thumbs and keep sucking on them.
And what about the dummy? Yes, it also can become a problem when your child is 3 or 4 and still does not want to give it up. Remember, that the older your child is, they more they can understand. Explaining them that they should stop is something that will work in a longer term. Restricting the use of dummy and gradually reducing the periods that it is being used is also a good way. In the end, remember that children will sooner or later drop it by themselves - mainly because of changes in the shape of their jaw. As a result, the soother will become uncomfortable for them and they will simply not enjoy it anymore.

2016 resolutions for mums
This year will be special. In the years passed by, you might have made
heaps of resolutions. Some you might have kept, however you may not have
completed a large portion of them. As you are becoming older, wiser and
busier, you don't want to make the same errors with
your New Year's resolutions in the year 2016. Rather than making your
effectively occupied life busier or constraining yourself to be the ideal
wife and mother, why not change your reasoning and your existence with some
simple resolutions for mothers with babies and toddlers.
This year I make plans to stop over-scheduling.
In your endeavor to be an incredible mother, you take your children outdoors to play soccer, move more, attend school meetings and juggle every one of the obligations that you have at your occupation. That is sufficient to make anyone irritable and worried. Toward the day's end, despite the fact that you buckled down throughout the day, you might feel like nothing was well done. You may have not had time to take a seat for even a moment and simply rest, yet you haven't completed anything you planned around the house. Dinner was served out of a paper pack and your children could not stop talking about their day. This year take time to focus on spending more time with your family and say no to over-planning.
This year I take steps to settle on better choices with my cash.
You may be enticed to make the New Year's resolution to be more effective in escaping certain obligations to give yourself a bit more time. Especially when it comes to financial decisions. You are most likely effectively moving in the direction of this objective, and this year, your resolutions will be simple ones. Ones you can keep. Escaping obligation is a major objective and it isn't something you can fundamentally do rapidly. You didn't venture into the red overnight so receiving in return might simply take some time. This year, however, you can roll out a few improvements that will help you from jumping more profound into obligation and offer you to begin some assistance with preparing for a superior life later on. Rather than concentrating on escaping obligation submit this year concentrating on not making more obligation.
Rest more.
Need to be more efficient at work or more present at home? Go to bed. Lack of sleep can prompt coronary illness, misery, weight pick up, errors at work and short breakers at home. Quit sleeping so as to attempt to pack it all in less. Go for eight hours of rest every day and say great night to tired in 2016.
Embrace good enough...
Obviously, when you begin giving others a chance to help you should arrange to acknowledge their method of doing things. Possibly you wouldn't dress your kid in plaid and stripes, or maybe you'd stack the dishwasher an alternate way. Give up to discover parity. Try not to let the quest for flawlessness crash your arrangements for the New Year. Go for sufficient in 2016 and make it your greatest year ever. Nobody is perfect, nothing is perfect so make wise choices as to what is good enough and strive to reach that level.
This year I set out to make a simple every day routine to ensure my baby is always happy.
The busy schedule for most mothers leaves them with no time for their babies. You might have noticed that because of that your baby is getting moody and stressed up. This is why your new years resolution needs to be to make your baby smile and keeping them engaged. Baby toys are one of the easiest ways to keep a baby engaged and happy. There are all sorts of them out there. Play mats are great for young newborns who become introduced to getting to know the world by their senses - touch, sight, hearing. They will also remain busy with these toys and you will still give them the best you can. Don't forget to find a moment to spend with them. Toys cannot replace parental love and a feeling of being close to a mother.

Five Perfect Gifts For Mother And Baby
Whether someone you know is having a first baby or adding another to the family, there are certain gifts that are more appreciated than just another baby bib. Of course, little ones do go through baby bibs at a record pace, so think about including one as part of your gift.
1. Keepsake gifts, especially ones that are personalized, are always an excellent choice. The variety is only as limited as your imagination. There are keepsake boxes that preserve things like the first lock of hair or those amazing sonogram photos. Maybe you prefer to send a personalized blanket or a monogrammed outfit. New parents always love something that has baby's name on it or an item that will become a special treasure forever.
2. Gift baskets make great gifts for a variety of reasons. You can select one has a blue theme for a baby boy, pink for a baby girl or neutral colors if the gender is unknown and the gift is for a baby shower. The baskets can hold anything from receiving bamboo blankets and hooded towels to practical items like onesies, booties, teething rings and a soft cuddly toy to keep baby happy. For corporate gifts, neighbourhood gifts or any combination of people who want to go in together, gift baskets allow you to select something that pleases everyone. Since the baskets come in all price ranges and contain a variety of items, there is always one that is perfect.
3. Diaper cakes! No, they're not something to eat. Most diaper cakes begin with a layer of disposable diapers that form the base of the 'cake'. From there the designer creates two, three or more layers of useful items for the new parents. Typically there will be washcloths and towels, bibs, booties, teething toys, plush toys, pacifiers, a feeding bottle and more. Many are created around a theme, such as a cartoon character, and they make a wonderful centerpiece for a baby shower. It's a great way to decorate and have a gift with only one purchase. There are always selections for twins or triplets, too.
4. Baby rockers are a more practical gift than just a baby carrier. They have all of the same amenities such as colorful fabric, stimulating toys and a hood to keep baby protected from too much room light or sun light. The plus is that parents can gently rock the baby with varying degrees of movement - or it can be stopped completely. When baby is happy, Mom and Dad are happy. It's relaxation therapy for everyone.
5. Rocking horses and child-sized rocking chairs are gifts to consider when the baby has older brothers or sisters. No doubt the parents will still have many of the items needed for a newborn, such as clothes, blankets, baby bottles, baby furniture, car seats, etc. Instead of duplicating things that aren't needed, consider a gift that baby can grow into. If baby's name is painted or embroidered on the horse or chair that makes it just that much more special. Give the older brother or sister a chance to briefly enjoy the gift with the understanding that it's to be put away for when baby is old enough to use it. Depending on the age of the older children, you may find that you have to purchase one of these special gifts for them, too!
We also have compiled a list of perfect special gift for mom. These gifts are guaranteed to make your mom feel warm and fuzzy inside. There shouldn't be an occasion to present your mom with a gift. Try these great gift ideas to make a special occasion even more memorable.

New parents always love something that has baby's name on it or an item that will become a special treasure forever.
2. Gift baskets make great gifts for a variety of reasons. You can select one has a blue theme for a baby boy, pink for a baby girl or neutral colors if the gender is unknown and the gift is for a baby shower. The baskets can hold anything from receiving bamboo blankets and hooded towels to practical items like onesies, booties, teething rings and a soft cuddly toy to keep baby happy. For corporate gifts, neighbourhood gifts or any combination of people who want to go in together, gift baskets allow you to select something that pleases everyone. Since the baskets come in all price ranges and contain a variety of items, there is always one that is perfect.
3. Diaper cakes! No, they're not something to eat. Most diaper cakes begin with a layer of disposable diapers that form the base of the 'cake'. From there the designer creates two, three or more layers of useful items for the new parents. Typically there will be washcloths and towels, bibs, booties, teething toys, plush toys, pacifiers, a feeding bottle and more. Many are created around a theme, such as a cartoon character, and they make a wonderful centerpiece for a baby shower. It's a great way to decorate and have a gift with only one purchase. There are always selections for twins or triplets, too.
4. Baby rockers are a more practical gift than just a baby carrier. They have all of the same amenities such as colorful fabric, stimulating toys and a hood to keep baby protected from too much room light or sun light. The plus is that parents can gently rock the baby with varying degrees of movement - or it can be stopped completely. When baby is happy, Mom and Dad are happy. It's relaxation therapy for everyone.
5. Rocking horses and child-sized rocking chairs are gifts to consider when the baby has older brothers or sisters. No doubt the parents will still have many of the items needed for a newborn, such as clothes, blankets, baby bottles, baby furniture, car seats, etc. Instead of duplicating things that aren't needed, consider a gift that baby can grow into. If baby's name is painted or embroidered on the horse or chair that makes it just that much more special. Give the older brother or sister a chance to briefly enjoy the gift with the understanding that it's to be put away for when baby is old enough to use it. Depending on the age of the older children, you may find that you have to purchase one of these special gifts for them, too!

Why all the fuss about Pigeon slim neck bottles?
The way to a person’s heart is through their stomachs and babies are not an
exception. In order to have happy babies; mothers should ensure they feed
them properly. Baby
bottles are usually baby's first step to try food other than their
mother's breast. Over the years, slim neck baby bottles have belonged to the
most common ones and many mothers still have a lot of sentiment for them
even though wide neck bottles seem to be the current trend in bottle
feeding.
Many brands seem to be stepping away from slim neck bottles. The widely loved NUK Slim Neck Bottles were discountinued over 12 months ago. In conversations with our store NUK have confirmed that they are not planning to re-launch the range. Earlier this year, similar message came from Cherub Baby. "They were simply not selling well" - said their consultant in a conversation with our manager. To our surprise, no such message came from Pigeon. Therefore, it seems that Pigeon slim neck bottles could be as scarce as hen's teeth. The bottles seem to be loved by the market. Consumers on the popular Australian review portal www.productreview.com.au gave them 4.7 out of 5 grade.
Slim neck bottles have not always been perceived that well. Check out the discussion at Bub Hub regarding different types of slim neck bottles. Mothers say that they indicated problems with various types of them. Some of them simply leaked, others did not seem convenient for the baby. Most of the mothers indicate that when they were advised to try Pigeon slim neck bottles, the situation changed and the experience was positive.
Pigeon baby bottles seem to be loved by mothers due to their distinctive features. Variety of materials such as plastic (PP or PPSU) as well as glass gives a chance to choose own preference depending on views and beliefs. Slim neck bottles are available in all of the mentioned versions. The design is easy to hold (some wide neck bottles take more effort to hold properly) and those who are still into that old traditional shape will find what they want here. Out of slim neck Pigeon seem to be the best baby bottles.
Pigeon also successfully addressed the problem with leaking of teats in slim neck bottles. They equipped them with peristaltic teats which release milk to baby's mouth only when they suck. The official statement from the company says that the aim of such technology is to reduce or even eliminate the confusion between a nipple and a teat.
Below is the summary of reasons why mothers love to use Pigeon the slim neck baby bottles.
- The plastic baby bottles offered by Pigeon are made of unbreakable material which is safe for babies. The material is also free of harmful chemicals which could mix with the formula.
- They have clear markings on them giving mothers an idea of the amount of milk consumed by the baby.
- They are leak proof thus avoiding accidental spills thanks to their design and the teats.
- They are portable and easy for babies to hold
- The glass bottles can withstand any sterilisation method without a damage to the bottle

Best Baby Bottles in Australia
These days we do lot of things when it comes to proper care of our babies. We use different bottles but the most recommended ones are the baby glass bottles. Compared to other types of bottles, they are very reliable and comfortable for both mothers and babies.
When it comes to glass vs other types it is quite an obvious choice. As the recent reports clearly outline that the glass bottles are safer and healthier than plastic bottles. Sceptics claim that plastic in the bottles might be harmful for your baby because of the harmful chemical components. After reading about these hazards many parents decide to switch to glass bottles.
On the brighter side, glass bottles are sturdy, and they not posses any chemicals that may potentially get into a baby's formula. If you look at our various ranges of these bottles, you will see that some of them come with additional features. For example, Cherub Baby bottles include colour changing bottle holders that turn white when the temperature exceeds 42 degrees. This feature protects your baby from getting burns from the overheated milk or formula.
Some of the best baby bottles in Australia these days that are made of glass are Pigeon baby bottles. They are safe to use as they do not use any harmful chemicals. They are competitively priced and we offer them at discounts over 25% off RRP. We aim to offer the best price in Australia on Pigeon bottles. We also have access to Cherub Baby and NUK bottles and these portfolios also include glass baby bottles.
We know that for you your baby comes first and we understand that. This is why we want to make sure that we give you an option of chosing a healthier, less harmful solution when it comes to feeding.
