1. the baby einstein stuff is great.
2. The rainforest bouncer is good and you can set it on continuous play. We also like the baby einstein play gym/matts......our son loves this!
3. I know you obviously already have a bouncer, but have you thought of getting another one? My son had the most AMAZING bouncer from fisher price - the rainforest one. It's got a toy bar over it with lights and sounds, with two settings - either constant or baby activated for when she gets a bit older :D http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fisher-Price-Fisher-Price-Rainforest-Bouncer/dp/B000LXQV36 EDIT: That's OK, mine is the same - my son likes to dribble into it as much as possible!! It really is a great bouncer though!!
4. go to the ealry learning centre or www.elc.co.uk they have greta things and i buy all my babies toys there he loves them! my baby also likes leap frog toys as they play songs constantly and he wont take his eyes it off it! i hope you find something great!
5. Hi! I too have tons of toys that provide constant stimulation for my baby, he loves them. However, I read an article in an article in a well respected psychological journal a little while back that concerned me. The article was about a study that showed that another reason for the higher rate of ADD and ADHD was the constant stimulation we provide for our children. Even as babies we teach them they have to be stimulated by outside sources constantly, which leads to them learning to look for outside stimulation all the time. I don't know if it would worry you, but it did me, and I just thought I'd pass off the information. Now, I do still use toys and stimulation for my son, but I also allow him "quite" time to just kind of hang out in his bumbo chair. Good luck!
6. Yes, be careful with constant stimulation, like another poster said. It's the same reason babies should not be allowed to watch television. These sort of things contribute to the increasing rates of ADD and ADHD. Try playing with her, reading to her, just talking to her-- take her for walks and let her see something in real view, toned down color. She's likely to be most interested in you.
