Our doctor-designed baby crib mobile includes color viewing discs as well as black and white viewing discs for your baby’s developing vision. Younger babies have difficulty distinguishing colors and are more attracted to and stimulated by black and white crib toys. As your baby grows, he or she will become more interested and fascinated by bright-colored crib toys. In addition to the viewing discs, the Nurture Smartᵀᴹ baby mobile for cribs includes an engaging domed mirror for babies to see themselves and their movements.

Our baby mobile also has a unique arm adjustment that allows you to adjust the distance of the viewing images to the ideal distance for your baby’s developing visual needs. Young babies can only see up to 12 inches, so it is critical for a crib mobile to have the adjustability to safely provide viewing stimulation at this distance. As the baby grows and develops, the images should be moved further away from baby to continue motivating interest and brain development.

Our baby mobile is a musical mobile and offers five sound alternatives (in-womb heartbeat, white noise, wave action and two music options) that provide both auditory stimulation and comfort to your baby. Studies have shown that white noise, waves, and in-womb heartbeat sounds promote comfort and better sleeping patterns for babies. The in-womb heartbeat option is particularly soothing for young babies as this was the primary sound they were exposed to developing in the womb. The in-womb heartbeat sound can also help with the significant transition to your baby’s new world. The volume levels for our musical baby mobile have also been carefully calibrated and tested to make sure they are heard but do not risk damage to your baby's sensitive hearing as it develops.

What is the appropriate age range for using our baby mobile?

Baby Mirror

Why choose the Nurture Smartᵀᴹ baby mirror?

The Nurture Smartᵀᴹ portable baby mirror was doctor-designed in collaboration with hospital Child Life Specialists. Our baby mirror can be a crib mirror, bassinet mirror, play-yard mirror or floor mirror. The large size and black-and-white raised graphics provide an exceptional developmental and sensory toy experience for a baby and the attachment loops at the top allow you to secure it in an upright position for easy viewing.

Why is a baby mirror important?

Nothing is more enticing to babies than the human face. Babies love to look at faces and can be mesmerized by their own. Mirror images help your baby learn how to focus his or her eyes, follow images, learn new words and explore the wonderful things a face can do. Enjoying one’s own blinking, smiling image in a mirror is an important social and emotional milestone that babies tend to achieve during the first year. By gazing at themselves and their loved ones in a mirror, a baby can learn to identify familiar faces, track movements and even develop their tiny muscles as they reach and roll toward their reflection. And, if you talk to your baby while showing parts of your face in front of the mirror, you’ll help boost their language skills.

Can a baby mirror help with tummy time?

The fascination babies have with their mirror reflection can be a strong motivator for tummy time duration and other muscle-building exercises. Nurture Smart’s large baby mirror propped against a wall or pillow can motivate tummy time, sit time duration and physical activity that will help build the muscles and coordination necessary for crawling and walking. 

How is the Nurture Smartᵀᴹ mirror different and better?

The Nurture Smartᵀᴹ baby mirror is larger than any other baby mirror. This is important because a baby's vision develops during the first year and the larger reflection provided by our mirror will make it much easier for the baby to see their reflection and start benefiting from the advantages noted above. The larger mirror size allows for easy mirror sharing with Mom, Dad or siblings to play peek-a-boo and other games to engage with baby. The mirror can also be placed further from the baby opening up even more play options and movement motivation. 

What other features does the Nurture Smartᵀᴹ baby mirror offer?

This baby mirror includes bold black and white graphics both around the mirror and on the back. Young babies have difficulty distinguishing color and are much more attracted to black-and-white images.  Our graphic designs around the mirror add to the visual attraction of the mirror and our artist-designed graphics on the reverse side of the mirror provide an interesting visual alternative for a baby to focus on. These designs are all raised to provide both added visual stimulation and tactile stimulation rewarding the baby when they touch the mirror. 

What is the appropriate age range for using the Nurture Smartᵀᴹ baby mirror?

Our baby mirror is designed for babies 0 – 10 months old. However, after this time the decorative baby mirror can be hung on a wall in the baby's room.

Why do pediatric hospitals love our baby mirror?

Our baby mirror is the only baby mirror designed to meet the rigorous safety and child development standards required by hospitals. These same baby mirror features are equally important when your baby goes home. Hospitals do not allow cloth parts that could create a choking hazard or strings that could entangle a baby or fabric that can harbor bacteria and viruses. The Nurture Smartᵀᴹ baby mirror is easily cleaned and disinfected, helping to prevent flu, RSV and other germs from transferring to your baby, and the exceptional developmental features are doctor-designed.
