Human: Is it safe to use a teddy bear for a baby's comfort object? Assistant: 
It is generally recommended that you avoid using anything with small parts, such as stuffed animals or other toys, in your baby's crib. This is because they can pose a choking hazard and could become tangled around the baby's neck. However, some types of soft stuffed toys are designed specifically for babies and can be used safely within their cribs. If you choose to use a soft stuffed toy, make sure it has no hard edges or small parts that could cause harm.
