Check Out Your Toys Carefully

The other day I was shopping in Wal-mart. I spent some time in the baby aisle checking out the baby rattles. They had a large selection and the prices ranged from $1.96 to 6.96 per rattle. Most of them were too large for a new baby or premature baby, but the one thing I noticed that really surprised me was a warning that was on most of the packages. The warning was DO NOT SUBMERGE IN WATER. That was a real surprise. Is that safe for a baby that puts everything in their mouth?How do you adequately clean such a rattle?

Read those labels.

Toys for Premature Babies and Newborns

I would like to know what toys parents and therapists have found that work for newborns and premature (preemie) babies?
