|
Here are a few basic baby safety tips for you to remember. The ebook on this page offers a more extensive list of baby safety tips to help you in the preparation of your new baby's homecoming.
Your Purse: Babies love to play with purses and the things found in them. Whether the purse is yours or a guests, some of the things in it can be very dangerous to your baby. Like medications, nail files, pens, cosmetics and other small objects.
Your Furniture: Make sure none of your furniture lamps, or decorations are easily tipped over. Keep their high chair away 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, like to have their baby sleep in the bed with them. When this is the case, there are some safety tips that you should keep in mind.
- 1. Don't put your baby into an adult bed alone to sleep. They can crawl to the 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. According to the "Back To Sleep Campaign", placing babies on their stomachs to sleep may have something to do with "Sudden Infant Death Syndrome."
3. Don't use pillows, comforters, and thick quilts or blankets for babies under 1 year old. They could become suffocated. Securely fitting sheets are the safest way to go.
4. Make sure your baby cannot fall out of the bed. A bed railing is a useful item to have or place 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 sleep with more than one child, adequate space is necessary for both comfort and safety.
