dont bother. it won't be anywhere as interesting as your iphone. believe me I know (this is someone who bought a load of ex display dummy phones as a final attempt to pacify the toddler. he was not fooled)

Do you have an old phone he can play with?

ALL babies are drawn to phones for some unknown reason. I let dd play with an old phone but I limit it to nappy changes only as it's the only thing which stops the screaming, if she had it full time it might spoil the effect.

We've given my 11 months old an old phone and an old remote control and he's not interested in the slightest. I think they just want whatever you're playing with. I may have to get really into stacking cups.

Get one of those child friendly covers for the iPhone which covers the home button and makes it waterproof and shatterproof?
