Baby Product Safety Tips
The Consumer Product Safety Commission advises that many injuries can be avoided by educating the parents. Understanding how some baby products can injure your baby can help you become aware of ways to use products correctly. For example, crib modules may be a great baby product for tiny newborns, but they may become a strangulation hazard when your baby can sit up--between five and six months of age--so you have to remove them. Your diaper-changing table is a must for newborns but becomes dangerous as your baby begins to squirm and roll-over--after the first two months--especially if you fail to fasten the restraining belt or keep your hand on your baby. Staircases, household chemicals under the sink and medicine cabinets are dangerous hazards once your baby starts to crawl and climb up on things after about five months of age. Keep electrical cords secure and most important, install protective guards for exposed electrical outlet. And outdoor swimming pools and passing cars are extremely dangerous to all babies and pre-schoolers who lack the restraint and judgment of more mature children.
It is important to survey your home with a critical eye. Get down on your knees and go through each room so you can see things from a toddler's point of view. It will help you discover sharp corners and other dangers you may otherwise have missed.
