My son has a catnip mouse in his mouth...

Our 16 month old found a package of catnip toys that our 4.5 yr old had gotten for his cat Simba. He came running through the house with a catnip toy in his mouth and I just couldn't resist snapping a few photos of him with this in his mouth...then I realized that it had catnip in it and that catnip may be poisonous to babies so I took it away from him.

Anyway, here is what I found out about catnip. I don't know why I am sharing this but I thought oh well...someone else's baby may have also played with a cat toy once or twice and they may need this information...

1.) Obviously catnip is for cats. It produces feelings of euphoria for the cats. It's a recreational herb for cats.
2.) Catnip is used in salads sparingly.
3.) People make catnip tea for colds and other medicinal purposes.
So I've come to the conclusion based on my research that catnip is not poisonous and it's ok..for more information about catnip and it's uses go here.
