LO got 5 toys yesterday that are cute wooden animals on a string that he can drag around. They're adorable, but the strings are making me a little nervous. Am I being a crazy FTM?
Most of them are too short to cause strangulation. However, once, before LO could crawl, he somehow managed to get the string on his xylophone stuck on the back of his neck while I was in the kitchen making him a bottle. It obviously didn't strangle him or anything because it was too short to go around his neck, but it left a big red mark like rope burn (but not THAT bad.) I think now that the babies are mobile that wouldn't happen, though.
Re: Toys with strings
I think the only thing I've ever worried about her putting around her neck is my purse. She loves to try and wear it like I do (across body).
