Dear L.,
I would recommend the Discovery Toys. They are month and year determined. They are durable and my children have enjoyed the products immensely. I cannot say enough about them. It also makes a great side business/hobby.
I would also recommend the "Better Baby Institute" by Glen Doman, How to teach your baby to read, to swim, to do math. (I started when they were three months old)I have successfully done these programs with all three of my children. My success with the children rested on the program and my enthusiasm as well as, a little, of my husband's enthusiasm. He got enthusiastic when he began to see the immediate results. You can check out www.iahp.org (The Institute for the Achievement of Human Potential). Good luck!!!!
Enjoy your motherhood!
