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.

Rhodium plated over 925 silver means a thin layer of white rhodium is electroplated on top. It makes the silver brighter, whiter, and tarnish-resistant. The plating wears off in 6-18 months depending on wear, and re-plating costs 20-40 dollars. Underneath is still real 925.
