I bought it for my newborn baby just before he was born, since I wanted to buy some fun "musical" toys for him.. He is just a few weeks old but I think he likes it. I have hanged it up in the hallway of my apartment and every time I hold him and pass it I draw my hand on it to make the sound and every time my baby boy makes a quick jumping move and turn hes head towards it and has a very suprized and fascinated look on his face in awwh.. So I think he likes it, its like a distraction. A signature sound for him to memorize and recognize from our home. Sometimes when he cries a lot I touch it and then he stops crying for a few seconds as he gets a bit distracted. If lucky he might forget he was crying... hehe Sometimes I take his little hand and touch the chimes with his hand so it is as if he is making the sound, but I think he is to small still to understand he is doing it.
