Are your concerns about swallowing bricks or some other reason?
In our house we used to be very worried about the swallowing aspect of
smaller parts. We have become less concerned over the years. So far none
of our four kids have swallowed a LEGO yet (emphasis on the yet) and now we
have LEGO all over the place. I try to keep it contained[1] but inevitably
the baby will find one. She will put them in her mouth but she always spits
them back out. I will pull them out of her mouth when I see them but
sometimes she has them for a while.

office. It is my son who is the big culprit of spreading LEGO around the
house!
