You can give a newborn and an interactive toy. And let him show interest to her not immediately, but this is a gift for the future. Such toys are more suitable for children aged 6-12 months, but also play them after a very long time. Many babies like to lie in chairs-loungers. They combine both musical toys and developing ones.
