Is it safe for babies to suck on keys? They are if they're these keys.

I swear I am not Alarmist Mom. I did not plug every outlet when my kids were toddlers and my jeans were the only pacifier sterilizer I owned. But one thing I knew is that I didn't want my kids sucking on keys, knowing that real keys may be one of the worst things for them to put in their mouths. And that includes the cat. 

 

I'm so happy to see that CMP favorite Green Toys has expanded their baby toys line with a set of toy keys for babies that they can teethe on to their heart's content, and you don't have to worry. Like all of Green Toys, these keys are non-toxic and eco-friendly, made from 100% recycled bottles and are free of BPA, PVC, pthalates, and of course, copper-zinc alloy. Which is just what your real keys are made of. Not delicious. -Liz
