The Best Newborn Toys of 2023, According to Pediatricians

Teytoy Black and White High Contrast ($12)

"High-contrast soft books are so fun for babies to explore!" Dr. Choi says. Black, white, and red cards and books can aid in visual stimulation, and the soft and crinkly pages "can be a fun tactile and auditory experience for babies, too," she notes, adding, "These books are also a fun way to introduce the concept of reading and turning pages."

Another cool feature: the book folds out, so you can lay it by your newborn as they try tummy time.
