It is instinct for baby to put everything in its mouth. However, toys
should be chosen that are smooth, easily washed and which cannot be
swallowed. Avoid toys with sharp points like corners, or loose parts,
small objects that can be pushed into the nose or ear or swallowed, such
as coins, marbles, buttons, safety pins, beads, painted toys and those
covered with hair or wool. Infants frequently swallow such wool or hair.
