If you saw the following pic on my holiday card, would you judge me for letting my DD put the lights in her mouth?

    Don't lights have lead or something in them?

    I actually think this is an adorable and very unique picture. However, I can totally imagine how many calls you'll get from your disturbed aunts...

    Cute pic. It takes quite a bit of chewing to penetrate the plastic shell, but I wouldn't let her chew them for long. I also would turn them off every 15 secs or so to make sure they aren't too hot.

    That is what I figured...she doesn't have an actual bulb in her mouth, just the cord....and it was complete accident (the only pic like it), but I like the lighting. I think I would probably get a bunch of slack for it.

    So keep it for yourself. I really like the pic!

    I don't think it's a big deal.  It's a cute photo...but I got a lot of slack from a Halloween photo of my DD where it looks like a pumpkin could fall on her.  It was nowhere near her...but you know how people are.

    nope.  i would assume that she was being closely supervised while handling the lights.  don't worry about the stupid old biddies judging, use the pic.  it's adorable.

    I agree - keep the pic. I am sure you wouldnt let her sit there just chewing away on it but part of me wouldnt want to hear all the comments I would get on it. It is a cute pic

    I like it, and it's different!  one of my friends sent out holiday cards with her 1 month old as a "Christmas Ham".  They had her on the table with all the fixings and even had a pineapple on her back.  That did get the side eye from me, because it was obviously set up like that.  But I like yours!

    Personally no, but I could easily see this turning into a big hoopla if your family is anything like mine.

    I think it is a great picture and I would totally use it. 

    1. I assume that you wouldn't allow the chewing/sucking on it to happen for a long period of time,

    2. I assume they are indoor/outdoor lights so that the plastic coating is thicker and is not easy to 'chew' through (not that I think LO could accomplish that in a short period of time anyway - even if they did have a few teeth).

    Obviously I wouldn't want my child putting that the toxic materials that the lights are made from in their mouths but a few minutes - I doubt that it will harm them anymore than going outside and breathing the polluted air?? lol

    Friends of mine did the same thing with their son a few years ago and I didn't think anything of it, plus a ton of people commented on it at our christmas party and no one said anything negative then either.  I think we all made the same assumptions mentioned above and figured the mom wouldn't be letting the child gnaw on them for hours on end unsupervised.  Smile  BTW I love the tutu!  It really is a cute picture.

    I think its cute!! And it's not like you happened upon her while she was chewing on lights, you know? I would assume she put it in her mouth and you snapped the pic and then took it out of her mouth. People are probably going to realize that. A few years ago, I got a great pic of DD with a christmas light right up her nose. Hilarious!
