I'm ditching most of my plastic baby stuff and going with more organic and quality toys. I found several made in the USA rattles I like online, but I'm wondering, how heavy are these wooden rattles? Is my 5 month old going to knock herself out if she drops it on her face? are they for older babies?

It would depend on the particular item and maker I would think. I've had a couple that were fine and not any heavier/harder than a simliar plastic item.

ETA - I think this is one of the toys we have.. they're put away at the moment so I'm not 100% sure Pipapo

We have had babies hit themselves in the head with wooden rattles!

Some I save until they have good control. Others are lighter weight, like the one with two interlocking triangles.

Haba and Selecta are two brands I would recommend.

I would think that a 5 mo baby would have enough control to avoid self-injury!
