Questions parents ask about keepsakes

Can milestone blankets go in the crib?

Are small keepsake pieces a choking risk?
Use and supervision: follow the maker's warnings on the product, and see CPSC's Safe Nursery guide. Check the label and the maker's instructions, and ask your pediatrician about your child.
Is it OK to post milestone photos?
If you share milestone photos online, think about what's in the frame: names, birth dates, and locations can follow your child.
