About Baby Safety
Keeping your infant safe is an ongoing task for new parents. The best way to keep your baby safe is to remain alert and aware of your surroundings. Potential hazards can appear anywhere, particularly as your child becomes mobile. Outside the home, your sphere of control is smaller, focusing primarily on the child. By closely monitoring what your child is doing, you can protect your son or daughter from many dangers in the outside world.
At home, you have a far greater degree of control. You can design and enhance this space in many ways to create an environment that's as safe as possible for your infant, baby, or toddler.Â
How to Keep Your Baby Safe
Some ways that you can help keep your baby safe include:
- Creating a safe sleeping space that's free from pillows, stuffed animals, and loose blankets.
- Securing drawers and cupboards that you don't want your child to access.
- Covering outlets that your baby may insert objects into.
- Storing cleaning chemicals, detergent pods, and other hazardous items out of reach.
- Having your car seat installation professionally inspected and always using the clasp properly.
- Protecting your child from the sun, cold, and elements when outside.
Keep Your Home Clean
Many potential hazards for infants are invisible to the naked eye. Infants have less protection against infection than older children, so it's essential to provide them with a clean, sanitary environment. You may not think of cleaning products when you're envisioning child safety items. Still, it's important to include these materials on your shopping list as you're preparing to create a safe environment for your child.
Hand washing is important anytime someone wants to hold your infant. Keep a full supply of hand soap and hand sanitizer in the home. Keep hand sanitizer in your diaper bag as well so that it's easy for friends and family to wash up if you're meeting in a public place.
When it comes to cleaning your home, you want to pay special attention to items and surfaces that your baby comes into contact with during the day. Wash toys, bottles, and teething items in sulfate-free child-safe dish soap. Wipe down high chairs and tables with a multi-surface cleaner that's free from ammonia, bleach, sulfates, phthalates, and phosphates.Â
