Mobiles need to be re-designed for babies, not adults!
I've seen mobiles for decades, and they all look so cute....EXCEPT THIS ONE!
It so boring, and plain, and anti-climatic!
BUT, I've NEVER SEEN AN actual baby stair at ANY mobile! Its great in the catalogues, with all those pretty giraffes, and cute colorful characters...BUT THEY DONT SEEM TO WORK!
My wife suggested getting this, and like a newborn-crazy dad, I got this immediately!
This TOTALLY BLEW MY MIND!
at 4 weeks he was staring at it, and smiling (first smiles we ever got from our serious boy).
at 5 weeks I got the rotating spinner, and he follows a specific one in circles, for like, 30 minutes!
(usually the straight lines, or the bulls-eyes.)
He looks at this Wimmer-Ferguson mobile so much, that:
1. When we get in the way, he gets disturbed, and moves his head so he can see it again. (maybe thats just our son).
2. when we put him down to change, he usually cries. But when he stairs at the Wimmer, he's as distracted as if he were nursing with my wife.
3. WHEN HE GETS SLEEPY, get keeps closing his eyes, and then cries and opens them, and them smiles when he sees the Wimmer...then gets angry because he doesnt want to stop looking at it. Its like a Siren of Mobiles, or the Pied Pipper of Wimmer.
4. Each one has tiny label that tells you what age that picture is designed for.
5. We took one of these and put it over his Stroller-play-table. He ignores all the other toys, and stares at the Wimmer, or off into space (not sure how thats related).
I think many toys for infants for designed for adults, because infants simply cant speak English. So parents think, "OH, that's cute, so my baby will like it".
-BY THE WAY. It seems to be the same with music!
----My wife likes water,a nd mozart. Our son just keeps waking up after 10-30 minutes.
----I like Lullaby's, and the harp....but our son could care less....and keeps crying.
----WHEN MY WIFE DRIES HER HAIR, HE STOPS WAILING, AND SLEEPS.
----WHEN I VACUUM THE FLOOR, HE STOPS WAILING, AND SLEEPS.
BOTTOM LINE: Wimmer-Ferguson type mobiles work great for my son!
