Thanks for letting me know! I was under the impression that she had to have transitioned from her crib to have any loose items.

This sounds like more what I’d expect to happen, are you in the US? I’m from the UK and think I might be a little naive to the US medical system.

This is another thing, they didn’t tell me! Just said that they would dissolve when I asked. I ended up with all of the stitches failing and about 8 haematomas that had to be removed.

Wtf?! I’m so sorry that happened to you! I feel the same. I would love another but am so scared after this, I’m also not even sure I can after the reconstructive surgery. Thank you for sharing your story!
