What toys do you have/ recommend for a 4 month old baby? I've just seen a video online with a baby in a floor seat, propped, to help him sit. Didn't even know it was a thing?!

Hey mamas! I've been doing BLW with my baby for about 2 months now (since she was 6 months old), and I love the idea of it, but in practice I find it terrifying 🫣 How do I chill out?
