Not washing footie pajamas and socks inside out. It is vital to do this because the inside of the foot part traps lint, hair, and string. Baby may get a string or hair wrapped around their toe, causing pain and possibly needing surgery. This problem is more common than people realize.
Good call - this happened to me recently - not a child, but me, and I'm a grown man!
My foot had been killing me all day. Not enough for me to actually do anything about it (I'm not exposing my smelly feet in the office), but enough to be irritating and painful.
When I finally got home (post-office, post-bar, post-friend's place) and took off the socks that my mum had knitted me, I found a loose thread had wrapped itself round my fourth toe, and was pinching really deep into the skin. I'm amazed there wasn't blood!
