I can actually feel my baby having her hiccups right this very moment very prominently. I thought to myself "Ahh! so this is how hiccups feel like in the womb". It's just very cute lah. She is having hiccups and swirming around at the same time.
Read 'Why Do Babies Hiccup So Much In The Womb?' and it's so assuring to know that "only more mature fetuses hiccup in the womb because their central nervous system is adequately developed in order to allow this to happen."
I ordered Sophie the giraffe for Baby through a spree. And realised that there is another seller on blogspot.com too. Quote from Sophie's website:
This is baby's first toy, and stimulates each of his senses from the age of 3 months.
Sight: At the age of 3 months, a baby's eyesight is still limited and can only make out high contrasts. The dark and contrasting, attention-catching spots all over Sophie the Giraffe's body provides visual stimulation and she soon becomes a familiar and reassuring object for baby.
Hearing: Sophie the Giraffe squeaks when pressed and keeps baby amused and stimulates his hearing. In later months, this helps baby understand the link between cause and effect.
Taste: Sophie the Giraffe is made of 100% natural rubber and food paint and is completely safe to chew, just like a feeding bottle teat.
Touch: Her soft texture and numerous chewable parts (ears, horns, legs etc) make her perfect for soothing baby's sore gums during teething.
Smell: The scent of natural rubber from the Hevea tree makes Sophie the Giraffe very special and easy for your baby to identify amid the other toys.
Easy to grip: Sophie the Giraffe's shape and size are perfect for baby's small hands. She is very light, and her long neck and legs are easy for baby to grasp, even in his early days.
