Hello!

My baby is due in about 6 weeks and still contemplating whether I should get a musical mobile for above the cot. Is it worth getting a musical mobile to hang above the cot?

  • It’s not a must have but certainly can be helpful; the sound and movement can be calming and distracting.


  • I never did cause I was scared it would fall on them. I had one beside the cot instead. It’s nice to have music play to settle them


  • My son had one as a baby and loved it. I had the same one for my daughter as a baby and she just wasn’t interested. I think it’s worth buying one, keeping one baby happy is better then none


  • We had ever intention of getting one. But there is another option, we got a fisher price giraffe that you press and lights up and plays music. It is great to take when out etc and the pram. To us it was a better option for our daughter.


  • Definitely! We bought one and it has been one of the many great purchases for our child. Our son loves to look at the mobile rotating above his head and at about 7 weeks he started babbling at the animals continuously! Delight to watch!


  • They can be handy to distract / amuse a baby during nappy change, especially otherwise they scream while you are doing it. Dealt with one like that. It didn’t cure the problem completely but it certainly helped.


  • I think it can be calming for them, also it gives them something to look at.


  • nahhh, wait and see what you get as gifts. I got so many wind up musical toys, no need for a musical mobile


  • I found my little one loved it and i still use he’s but it was one where you can remove the hanging part, so it’s safe for him now he’s 14 months


  • yeah i bought one but when they are a little one, they don’t care, around 4-6 months they might be a little interested in it


  • We bought one for our first and it’s more a decorative piece than used for the baby while he sleeps. It looks great but I dnt think its necessary.


  • I might just wait and see if bub doesn’t settle


  • Thanks its good to see the positives and negatives


  • We liked having one. Something interesting for bubba to look at and they think its amazing.


  • I think they can be very calming especially if they play a lullaby.
