Baby toys?
Since my baby was born I'm looking at baby toys and thinking of what I should buy him. But I can't help noticing that so many toys seem like they are designed to be 'replacement parents' You get toys that 'read stories' that light up to 'soothe the child to sleep' and I can't help feeling that that is the mum or dads work! Not some battery operated toy! My husband and I are not rich, but even if we were I'd like to think that the job of reading stories and teaching ABC or numbers are OUR job and our baby will be much happier to have our attention to him rather than buying expensive bits of plastic while we devote our attention elsewhere! Maybe I'm being old fashioned here, but I can't help thinking that it's MY job to teach my son to read and count and soothe him to sleep. What are your opinions on this? thank you

How do I know which baby toys I should buy so I don't poison my child with lead?
I wanted to buy my newborn some toys recently but notice that all baby toys are made in china. As we all know there was a scare with increased lead levels in baby toys from china a couple years ago. How do I find out which toys have lead levels so I can avoid buying them? I haven't found a good user-friendly website for this yet. Also any hints for alternative toys not made in china? Seems like there are none.
