It is generally considered safe to use a stuffed animal or toy as a comfort object for a baby. However, there are some safety considerations that you should take into account before using one. Make sure the toy is free from any small parts that could pose a choking hazard and check its age rating to ensure it is suitable for your baby. Additionally, monitor how often the toy is handled and make sure it is cleaned regularly.
