Perhaps everybody but me knows this, but parents, don't leave knitted mittens on your infants when you put them to bed. It may sound bizarre, but it can lead to them losing fingers.
A Good Poop
A blog about strange and wonderful medical science publications. It's not as boring as it sounds. Honestly.

When I had my first child seven years ago, the infant/child CPR class I took warned against using anything knitted because of the risk to baby fingers and toes. Somewhere in this house I've got a box full of knitted baby blankets, mittens and sweaters (all unused) given to me by well-intentioned family members.
