Childproofing Your House

Ensuring that your baby is going to be safe in your own home is extremely important. There are many potential dangers that exist in a house that can harm your baby. Here are a few pointers for baby proofing your house.

First make sure to install Carbon monoxide detectors if you use a gas stove, or if you have an attached garage, install and maintain working smoke detectors, keep a fire extinguisher on hand and plan a fire escape route.

Also make sure to assemble a first aid kit for children and place your doctor's telephone number next to the phone, as well as other emergency numbers.

When it comes to water safety you should buy a baby bath that has non slip grooves and if you have a swimming pool, make sure that it is enclosed in a fence.

In the child’s nursery ensure that the crib is sturdy, with no sharp edges and try to avoid soft and fluffy bedding that could potentially suffocate your child.

Don't forget that you will need to change your safety techniques as your baby gets older.
