People love to give soft, fuzzy stuffed animals to babies because they’re just so darn cute. Make sure any stuffed animals are age-appropriate before you let them play with them. Sewn-on or hard plastic eyes and decorations can be dangerous for grasping hands and teething mouths. There are many hypoallergenic stuffed animals on the market, so keep an eye out for organic materials and fillers which can help reduce allergens. You may want to hold off on letting your baby sleep with a stuffed animal until you know that the materials don’t bother your little one.
