Babies are tricky. If you don't watch out you will spend tons of money on gadgets and doodads to try to make them sleep, or make them happy, or at the very least keep them entertained, and in all likelihood about half of that stuff is going to lie around unused. In some cases they will use it for a few weeks, or if you are lucky a few months.
When I had my first son we received a cute gift from a friend: a
Taggies blanket. It's a little square with tags (as in the tags on clothes) sewn all around it in fabrics of difference colors and textures. My first son had zero interest in this item, maybe less than zero.

My second son, now almost 7 months old, recently started sucking on all the tags on his burp cloths and receiving blankets. So this morning I dug out the Taggies blanket from a dark recess in our closet and presto his face lit up when I showed it to him and he has been happily exploring the different tags for 20 minutes.
