Crib toys

Sorry for the million questions, I just want to get a sense of what I will need to buy.

I know that the mobiles are very soothing for the baby, but are the other crib toys distracting to them? I am concerned that as the baby gets a little older they will think the crib is play time if there are too many gadgets.

Can you recommend the "essential" crib gadgets that are soothing that won't be too distracting? I know there is really nothing that is necessary, but what is good to have?

TIA

Stephanie I got the Fisher Price Aquarium and it is so soothing. Steven loves it!!!!!

Re: Crib toys

I have the Fisher Price aquarium which I set to music and lights...no bubbles..so it's not that loud when he wants to play with it during naptime. I also have the Baby Tad froggie in his crib. After I put him down to bed, I press the button for 6 minutes of music and walk out of the room. It's a lifesaver.

Thank you so much. Some of my friends have a million toys in their kids cribs and I noticed that they have a hard time putting them to bed. These kinds of things are exactly what I was thinking of.

Just wanted to add that I literally have nothing in the crib besides a sheet. The crib is for sleeping only, when she's awake she can play out of the crib.
