The product, in the report: wubbanub Is recommended for newborns. Very unsafe
wubbanub, when my grandson was a couple of months old, he was in his crib while my daughter was showering. All of a sudden she heard my grandson screaming. When she reaches his crib, she was mortified by what she saw. My grandson had a hold of the animal that’s attached and he wasn’t old enough to let go. My grandson had slapped himself in the face repeatedly. My daughter brought him immensely to his pediatrician. I contacted the company, even emailed them pictures. They wanted to replace the pacifier with a new one. Needless to say, my daughter and son-in-law threw all of them in the garbage.

The product, in the report: WubbaNub red dog
I was given a duck as a gift and loved it so I jumped to purchase a red dog at Babies R us. I did notice initially that the dog had significantly less stuffing in in the body and arms and was very floppy in comparison to the duck. I see pictures of the dog on your web site and the one I purchased does not look like that in in comparison to the stuffing. I thought maybe it was a cheaper version sold at Babies R Us in comparison to the one given to me that was purchased through Amazon. My baby girl is five months old and could have died due to the leg of the dog becoming lodged down her throat in a matter of seconds. I did not know that the leg was small enough to fit into her mouth, but after the incident I noticed it is more pliable and was able to easily bend, fold, and stuff into smaller areas. I assume once baby vomit was put onto the leg it was able to go back even further into her mouth and lodge down her throat. The entire leg of the dog was stuck down her throat and her air supply had been cut off! She was vomiting but the leg was still lodged down her throat.
She had this dog as comfort when she was first laid down in her crib and we usually took it away once she fell asleep. I was in the room with her and took my eyes off her for a minute. She is fine, but that was potentially very bad if I had not checked on her again when I did. I highly recommend everytone rethink the selling of the dog design as a product that is safe for infants. That or evaluate the manufacturer and make sure they are meeting your expectations. I know freak accidents happen, but this product is not safe and is a choking hazard. I believe it is a poor design and should not be offered as a comfort product for babies at all. This product is even marketed as a aid to help you baby sleep, but it should not be. If five months is too old to have this toy, you need to make sure the packaging is properly labeled as a choking hazard for babies over a certain age.
