Funny story...
One day I had just put Taylor down for a nap in the playpen. I went to the kitchen to get something to drink and a snack. When I was done with that, I walked back in the living room where the playpen was and noticed that Sydney was chewing on something. I went over just to make sure it was a toy of hers and not something else.
Sydney was chewing on one of Taylor's binkies!
I realized that it was the one that I kept in one of the outside pockets in the diaper bag. I had put the diaper bag down on the floor after taking Taylor to church one Sunday. I guess Sydney found the diaper bag on the floor, sniffed out the binky, and then decided to chew it. Must have felt good in her little doggy mouth, too!
After laughing about it for a minute, I took the binky from Sydney and told her that it wasn't for her. Then I washed and sterilized the binky.
What will be fun someday is when Taylor is crawling and walking, and I have to keep her from putting Sydney's toys in her mouth! But we'll worry about that when the time comes...
So, be careful where you put the baby's binkies. Make sure it is not within reach that the dog can get to it. Just to be safe since you don't always know where your dog's mouth has been... if your dog gets hold of a binky or another one of the baby's toys -- even bottle nipples -- you should probably wash it really well with hot water and dish soap and just to be safe, sanitize it.
