Be sure that your baby or toddler doesn't h ave access to an older child's toys that could be chewed, swallowed or partially swallowed. Teach your older child to keep toys with small pieces on a shelf out of reach. And he should play with them only when the baby is not around. Buy sturdy t oys from a reliable manufacturer. More fragile, cheaply-made toys may have small parts that break easily.
R emove any detachable strings or ribbons from toys and clothing.
