Kavod Harav,
Am I allowed to play with my baby with rattles on Shabbat? Thank you.
Answer:
The rattle may be placed in the child’s hand even though he will shake it and make noise. If the adult feels it necessary to rattle to amuse or calm the baby, the shaking should be done in an abnormal fashion.
