Bailey is a great teddy bear for any age. There are no buttons or other small parts that would be a choking hazard for a baby. You can make it up in soft baby fabrics - or funky fabrics and fun patterns for older kids. It's especially fun to choose a fabric with texture for the tummy patch - corduroy, chenille, velvet, flannel, etc.
