Put child safety latches on all cupboard and cabinet doors under the kitchen or bathroom sink or anyplace where, medicine, cleaning supplies, chemicals or poisons are kept for storage. Store all weed killer and chemicals in a shed or the garage, in a locked cabinet and place the key in a location where your child can't find it. When you have a newborn baby, you are very protective of it. Fear of something happening to your newborn is quite natural, but when you are at home, you should not be afraid of anything happening to your baby because you are there and it should be safe. First, don't invite people to your home that smoke, or do any type of drugs. This is your line of defense for your baby. Just to be safe, when at home by yourself, lock all doors, especially if you live in a big city. To keep your baby from injuries at home, preventive safety measures should be used all over the house. Prevention of problems will include the ability of the baby to walk away, or get to the swimmimng pool. Lock doors, windows and cupboards, so that the baby is unable to open them. Be careful with pets like dogs or cats, until the baby gets older. A pet can hurt a baby when the pet is not accustomed to being around children. Cats are dangerous as they could cuddle up on the baby's face and smoother the baby without your realizing what is happening. When you put your baby to bed at night, place your baby on it's back, because of crib death. Crib death is when a baby suffocates to death. The crib is a place for babies to sleep, not play. The crib should have bars so that the baby can't slip through and so that the head of the baby can't slip through and get stuck. Remember to keep loose blankets out of the crib. Avoid situations where your baby could be easily hurt. Once your baby starts to crawl, get a walker to let it learn how to walk. If you have steps in your home, purchase child gates, which can be purchased at most department stores. This will prevent your child from falling down the steps. You could also use them in doorways to rooms that you do not want your child to enter. It is also another safeguard from pets or animals. Once your child begins to walk, keep items back away from the edge of the counter and the tables, especially hot cups, pots, pans and glassware. Be careful of anything that is small laying around because you do not want your baby to choke on anything, since naturally, babies tend to put things in their mouths. As a reminder, when at home by yourself, lock all doors. This will help you keep you and your child safe at home. discounted ebooks,music and more!
