Things To Do To Baby Proof Your Homec
For all new parents it is very important to baby proof your home and make sure that you consider everything that could end up harming your baby. Parents need to go through every area of the house and think about ways to make them as safe as possible.
With the nursery of your baby there are a number of things that you should think about. Firstly, when getting a crib or cot make sure that the slats are at least 6cm apart. You need them to be small enough so that the kids cannot get their heads trapped between them. In the crib, also ensure that the blankets and bedding is not too soft and then there are no cuddly toys in with the baby when you put them to sleep, as this is a suffocation hazard. Toys also should only be used in the crib when you are there to supervise as they could be shocked on if pieces become detached.
As kids grow up they will become quite inquisitive and will tend to reach for things. Makes sure that when you are cooking in the kitchen, all pots and pans are out of reach and cannot be pulled down and fall on your child. Also, ensure that all cupboard doors and cabinets have locks on them to prevent the infants from being able to open them. Store all dangerous chemical and cleaning products up high along with anything that could be chocked on. All sharp objects should also be out of harms way and in the higher drawers.
For mothers who express their milk into a bottle using an Isis breast pump or another similar product, do not warm the bottle in the microwave as this can lead to hot-spots in the milk. If you do head the milk in this way, make sure that it is equally warm all over.
Within the bathroom make sure that all cabinets are securely fastened with locks and that things such as medication cannot fall out of them. Also install locks on the toilet lids. When bathing your child in baby bath tubs, never leave them unattended and do not let the water exceed 49 degrees in temperature.
Finally, store dangerous items in the garage or out of the way in storage areas when not being used, such as power tools. In the car, also makes sure that your Snugride car seat or whatever you have set up is securely attached to the seat.
These are some of the things that you need to do in order to baby proof your home, but there are many others. It is advisable to make a list and ensure you get everything done before your new child arrives.
