Baby Safety Tips |

|
Keeping your baby safe is one of the biggest concerns for all
parents. There are many things we take for granted, but are
hazards to your baby. Your home is not ready for the baby until
you do some things to make it safe, especially if they are
beginning to crawl or walk. Don't find out what is dangerous the
hard way. Here are some tips to remember. This list is
incomplete as each home is different, but hopefully, these tips
will get you started in the right direction.
Your Purse; Babies love to play with the things found in a
purse, whether yours or a guests. Some of these things can be
very dangerous to your baby, like medications, nail files, pens,
cosmetics and other small objects.
Cleaning your home; Of course, you should make sure all cleaning
products are out of reach of the baby when they are stored, but
also keep this in mind as you are using them. It's very easy to
get busy cleaning and turn your back, just long enough for them
to get into something dangerous. Use the sink instead of a mop
bucket. Your baby can drown in a small amount of water, not to
mention what is in the water may be harmful to them.
Furniture; Make sure none of your furniture lamps, or
decorations are easily tipped over. Keep their high chair |

from walls and other surfaces they can use for leverage to push
it, possibly tipping it over. No furniture that has chipping or
peeling paint should be allowed in the house with your baby.
Check out the rooms of your house often and remember to check
them from your baby's point of view. Get down on the floor to
look for possible hazards.
A lot of Moms, especially those who breastfeed, like to have
their baby sleep in the bed with them. There are some safety
tips to keep in mind when doing this as well.
1. Don't put them into an adult bed alone to sleep. They can
crawl to an edge and fall off. They can become trapped between
the headboard and the bed or the wall. They can also suffocate
in soft bedding.
2. Babies should be put to sleep on their back, not on their
stomach. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome may have something to do
with placing babies on their stomachs to sleep, according to the
"Back To Sleep Campaign".
3. Don't use pillows, comforters, and thick quilts or blankets
for babies under 1 year old. They stand a chance of suffocating
themselves. Securely fitting crib sheets are the safe way to go.
4. Make sure your baby cannot fall out of bed. Bed railing is a
useful item to have or

having your bed with one side to the
wall. The baby should sleep between the mother and the bed rail,
not between two parents.
5. Make sure your bed has a firm surface. Never let your baby
sleep on a featherbed, beanbag, waterbed, deep mattress, or
other too-soft surface.
6. If you are under the influence of alcohol or medication that
makes you groggy, do not put your baby to sleep in your bed. If
you are groggy, you pose a danger to your baby. 7. Too many
pillows, blankets, or stuffed animals can increase your baby's
risk of strangulation or suffocation.
8. Never fall asleep on a couch, sofa, or overstuffed chair with
your baby. They can get wedged between the cushions and
suffocate.
9. Don't stuff too many bodies into a bed with a small baby. If
you share sleep with more than one child, adequate space is
necessary for both comfort and safety.
