I've never had a problem with threads coming loose, and I make sure that the stitches are small enough to prevent tiny fingers and toes from catching on them.
I learned about this monofiliment thread from a class that I took from Harriett Hargrave. She recommended using it for baby quilts too. She was adament that YLI was the best brand to use. It works for me.
i use it too. On lots of quilts. Holds up just fine through use and laundering, have never had a problem and it is nothing like the old ( fishing line) invisible thread of days gone by. I use YLI and the one from Superior Threads ( my favorite- since it comes in a large cone and goes a really long way)- it's an Aurifil brand.
