925 silver is generally considered safe for babies, but watch small parts and sharp edges. Avoid tiny beads or charms that could come loose and be swallowed. Pure silver is actually used in some medical contexts. Skip plated or nickel-alloy pieces for infants.

'Italian silver' is mostly a marketing term, not a legal grade. Italian-made sterling is often well-crafted, but it is still 925 sterling silver. The origin matters for craftsmanship, not for purity. Always look for the 925 stamp.
