Tips To Keep Your Baby Safe
0 Comments
Attach Car Seat Properly
There is lots of information available at hospitals, doctor’s offices, and online to describe a proper fit when your baby is in the car seat. Check with your local fire station to see if they offer baby seat inspection. Photo: Getty Images
Do Not Leave Your Baby in the Car
Sounds crazy, I know but there have been tragic accidents where sleep-deprived parents have left their babies in the car during a change in schedule. Make it a habit to always put your purse, diaper bag, or something that you always take with you in the back seat near your baby. Photo: Getty Images
Do Not Talk on the Phone While Driving
This should be a rule for all drivers but many people still do it regardless of how many studies tell them that it is as dangerous as drunk driving. Make your phone unavailable when you are at the wheel. If something is that important, pull over to use your phone. It could save a life. Photo: Getty Images
Protect a Crawling Baby
When your baby reaches the crawling stage, get down on your hands and knees and crawl around your house. You will be surprised at the things at that eye level that could be harmful to your exploring child. Don’t forget to plug all outlets and either move dangerous items out of low cabinets or secure them with safety locks. Photo: Getty Images
Keep Baby Near the Ground
Never place babies on tables or counters in car seats, Bumbo seats or any other item. Changing tables are very nice looking in a nursery but be sure to have the items that you need nearby and always keep one hand on your baby. Photo: Getty Images
