What is your infant's favorite toy/activity? (Newborn to One year old.)?

Answer
We use the links a lot. He likes to chew on them and they are multi colored and can be used to attach numerous things to his stroller, crib, and carseat. Other than that, anything that is brightly colored, and like most kids, he likes things that aren't really toys. Things like boxes, plastic wrappers from things(under close supervision only!) because it crinkles, and strings. My mom jokes that we could just buy him a roll of kite string and he would be perfectly happy! We recently bought him so curly shoestrings and he loves to gnaw on them!

Do you use baby slings for your newborn infant?

If so, you should probably read this:

It truly boggled my mind. I'm glad my mother never used slings for me or any of my siblings.
Btw, this isn't spam or whatever...Just thought it was an interesting news piece.
Jeez, tough crowd. I was only concerned about that particular brand of slings. Even if you look at its design, it clearly looks dangerous and not made with baby in mind. I've read the entire article, however, any product that is designed in a way that puts the child in harm (such as the Graco high chairs that got recalled because they would collapse and kill infants) is still at some partial, if not total, fault for the harm or fatality of the child.



Answer
ANY item, be it toy or product used for a baby can cause deaths or accidents when not used properly.

Baby could fall off a changing table....
Baby could choke on a toy...
Baby could fall out his buggy...
Baby could suffocate under his blanket...

Slings are brilliant, but like with any item you have to take care and preautionsto make usre they are used safely.

Slings are used all round the world, and have been since time began.
It's only the western world who putr their newborn babies in buggies instead of having them in slings.

These stories are very very rare, and are just used to scare monger the public and tart debates like this.

I will have no hesitations to use slings when I have children.
