More active every day.
Your baby might be exploring your home more than ever before. Whether she’s cruising around the living room furniture, standing on her own, or climbing up (but not down) the stairs, consider taking new steps to keep her safe.
Your baby might be exploring your home more than ever before. Whether she’s cruising around the living room furniture, standing on her own, or climbing up (but not down) the stairs, consider taking new steps to keep her safe.
It’s a good idea to install safety gates or other barriers at the top and bottom of stairs. Here are some other tips to help keep your baby safe:
- Clear her play area of hard, sharp-edged furniture
- Lower her crib mattress so she can’t crawl out or fall while she stands
- Install childproof locks on drawers, screens, doors, and windows
- Move pots and pans containing hot foods away from counter and table edges
- Insert plug protectors in any unused electrical outlets
- Store toxic substances (like household cleaners and products)
