Suitable for a newborn?

Panda78

Hello there,

Seems a silly question, but i cannot contact the seller of this item to check properly. Does anyone know if this soft toy would be suitable for a newborn? I'm worried about the diamante bits, but having not seen it in person, i can't tell if they can be pulled off/come out easily. Would you buy this for a baby? Thank you.

I wouldn't.

Babies are not stimulated by soft toys so something that would stimulate them would be better (think contrasting colours and textures) and even if the diamantes don;t come off, they will be scratchy.

Why can't you contact the seller? That is ringing alarm bells for me.

I'd buy it and if it wasn't suitable to play with when they're old enough to, I'd put it on a shelf or somewhere as a decoration.

Babies dont really 'play' for a while so agree with this about buying it as a decoration for the parents.

My other idea though is a baby rattle for the wrist...we had them when mine was a newborn and its the only thing we used to start with as it was cute more then anything

That was first one I searched on ebay but we had winnie and tigger :-)

Tbh there are many soft toys on the market and there will be a selection of ones holding a P. Why take the risk?

I wouldn't, but would be nice on the shelf instead. Tbh the only soft toy my baby showed any interest for a long time is a rabbit comforter - the type where it's just a square of nice soft fabric with a bunny head.

Thanks everyone, i have already bought a Lamaze toy, which is great for development, just liked this one for the initial. I may buy it just as a nursery decoration. Thanks again.
