hello, i am new to the plant community and want to learn how to properly care for my plants!  
with that being said, i am interested in purchasing new plants but have no clue what to get, for context i have a 5 month old at home so maybe something that can be beneficial towards that? interested in any feedback i can get, thank you!! 😊

Snake plant, zz plants, pothos plants. Best starters to go with.

Aloe Vera!! Aloe can help anything from a scratch to a sunburn! Especially dress aloe

I’d say that’s a good-intentioned suggestion, but maybe not for a beginner, they can be incredibly temperamental if you don’t have the right conditions.

Oh yeah I didn’t think about that

In terms of low maintenance succulents are great, perfect for a sunny spot and are mostly non toxic to pets and kids. Also great sensory as a lot have different patterns and textures🌱
