These joints could easily be dislocated. Some fun and safe ways to play with baby are chasing her as she crawls, rolling her along the floor, or holding her so she flies like an airplane. Lead alert Old paint often has lead in it, and even tiny amounts can poison a child. Your child will not act differently right away, even at poisoning levels. Lead harms memory, intelligence and hearing.
Lead paint becomes a problem when it chips or turns to dust.
It becomes dust when doors or windows rub while moving, when people walk over a painted floor, or when remodeling. One place it often collects is in the well of a window, between the sill and the storm window. When baby crawls across the floor and them puts his fingers in his mouth, he may be eating lead. If he is teething, chewing on the window sill may feel good. It may also taste good, since lead tastes sweet.
