Car glass is broken into many pieces in the car. i can vaccum but worry if the remaining dust/particles could harm my newborn's lung/digestive system?

Wouldn't sweat it: You get up what you can and ignore the rest. Any tiny particles would be trapped by hair cells within the nose and respiratory tract and moved out like they do dust and germs every day.The digestive system would ignore it like it does the bugs/dirt/twigs & other debris infants & toddlers place in their mouth during childhood.If you can't see it to remove it its not a issue.
