I have a 6 month old daughter and I am getting concerned with all the recalls in infant/toddler/children's toys. If you also have any great ideas about bottles and so forth. Much would be greatly appreciated.


Answer
Melissa and Doug . . . . AWESOME toys that are made in America and can be found at Toys R Us. Their products are also high quality and usually wooden (as opposed to plastic). They also focus on educational value as opposed to TV character association.

Quote from their site:
"Additionally, we specifically test our paints and coatings very frequently, to be sure our toys meet or exceed government recommendations limiting heavy metals and lead in childrenâs items. We have cabinets full of thousands of passing test reports, and these passing results have been verified by 3rd party independently accredited testing laboratories, considered by many to be the best scientific laboratories in the world."

How do day cares manage very young infants?

My baby was (and still is) a high need baby. I can't imagine him in a day care setting, especially when he was 6 weeks old. Now that he is almost 6 months old and can sit up, I suppose he could sit and play with toys and interact with other sitting babies. But before babies can sit up, how in the world do day cares take care of infants?
Really...2 answers, and they aren't even from people that are familiar with day cares. Awesome.



Answer
I can't imagine it either. However, my daughter goes to daycare a couple days a week and has since she was a little over 6 months. However, I see the little ones in her class. Basically, at that age they do eat and sleep a lot - so they do that a lot. The teachers are often rocking them in the glider with a bottle. At my daycare, they will involve even the little ones in any activities they do. For example, painting or reading or collecting leaves or whatever. It seems silly to me that they do that for such babies, but they do.
