Your child’s safety is your responsibility. The following series aims at providing tips to help you keep your baby out of harm from various situations & harms.

Preventing Baby Accidents

• Keep sharp objects (knives, scissors, tools, razors) and other hazardous items (coins, glass objects, beads, pins, medications) in a secure place out of baby’s reach.
• NEVER shake a baby or throw your baby in the air. This can cause brain damage or blindness.
• Do not leave your baby alone with a young sibling or a pet, even when your baby is sleeping.
• Walkers are unsafe at any speed and at any age! Never put your child in a walker.
• Make sure that your baby cannot pull lamps or other electrical objects on top of him or herself. Use electrical tape to secure electrical cords along baseboards.
• Eliminate tablecloths that can be pulled from the table.
• Make sure all drawers have stops, so that your baby or toddler can’t pull the drawer out on top of himself.
• Attach furniture to the wall so the pieces don’t fall over the child. Avoid electronics on top of higher dresser tables that can fall on the child.
