What is a "mobile"?

A mobile is a decorative and stimulating device consisting of hanging objects, typically attached to a crib or ceiling, designed to capture a baby's attention and promote visual and cognitive development. It often features colorful, lightweight, and visually appealing elements that move or spin gently when activated. Mobiles provide sensory stimulation, encourage visual tracking, and foster cognitive exploration in babies. They can also help soothe and entertain the baby during moments of wakefulness or restlessness.
