The baby rattle is the archetypical baby toy for the ages. Every baby at this age will love to make noise. You should be able to try singing songs with your baby and having her accompany you with the rhythm of the rattle.
Before you make the judgement about what to do with that baby that wont sleep is where is that baby sleeping. Some parents insist that your baby sleep in his own crib in his own room. Still other parents want their baby in their bedroom.
