Favorite Developmental Toys for 6 month olds
Favorite Developmental Toys
By this time your little one is starting to sit independently! If baby is still needing a little core strength, try putting a few of her favorite toys in front of her and have her reach for them. This will help strengthen their trunk and back muscles !
Some of my most favorite developmental toys for baby’s this age are teething toys, rattles, soft toys that make noise, stackable toys, and easy to hold balls. Jill Olszta, a pediatric therapy specialist from Beyond Speech Therapy shares their list of the best baby toys below!
During this session, I chose a neutral toned teether by Natursutten. Babies absolutely LOVE this teether as it is soft for their little gums and easy to hold with the circle cut-out. This darling baby came in for her 6 month milestone session. Take a peek at this adorable session. To see more of this darling baby, click HERE.

Photographing baby’s milestones
My recommendations for photographing baby’s milestones are at
- 4 months (or when they are pushing up on their tummies)
- 6-7 months (or sitting completely unsupported
- 9 months (or when they are crawling and pulling themselves up on chairs)
- 12 months (or when they are taking those first steps).
I offer a wonderful baby collective including all four of these milestone sessions at my Homer Glen, IL studio. Sessions are fun and relaxed and a great way to capture all of those sweet details you never want to forget. Interested in booking a session? CLICK HERE to get started!
