Our baby has been completely besotted with this mobile from just a few weeks old. She seemed able to focus on it even though we had it hanging quite high up. For a long time she seemed to prefer it to people. Just glimpsing it was enough to dry tears and put a dreamy smile on her face. She'd sit and stare at it from my lap with a coy, flirty smile. We joked that she thought it was god! Now she's nearly 4 months, it keeps her occupied while we eat dinner if we bat it occasionally to make it jiggle. It was a birth gift for her from one of my friends and definitely the best present she has ever had. I totally recommend it!
