Lamaze is best known for its breathing techniques that you use during childbirth, but did you know that it is a resource for parents well beyond the pregnancy stage? According to Lamaze International, "Our goal is simple: We want all parents to feel confident [1], supported and powerful as they ask questions, make decisions, and navigate their path through pregnancy, birth and parenthood." In order to help you feel comforted after birth, Lamaze has a selection of baby toys [2] to keep your child engaged.
The Lamaze International toys are designed in conjunction with child-development experts [3] to promote healthy play and learning through bright colours [4], friendly faces, unique textures, contrasting patterns, and more. Check out a few of our favourite Lamaze baby toys in the slides ahead. These are so cute, you won't be able to resist adding them to your cart!
