Keep your baby away from all plants. Although it may seem inappropriate to suggest gifts, it is very important to inform people of your baby's special safety needs. Most toys have an age listing somewhere on the package. Tell givers to look for your child's age group. Toys that contain small parts are dangerous to children younger than age 3.
Some toys are too loud.
If the sound a toy makes initiates pain when pressed to the ear, don't buy it. Make sure toys that are purchased for older children will not be dangerous to the baby. Even if the older child is responsible, a chemistry set, for example, could be hazardous to a baby. Being aware of your baby's surroundings keeps her out of danger, but it also allows you to enjoy the holidays through your child's eyes.
