4. Around the baby

There should not be any long ribbons and strings (on clothes, toys, pacifiers, etc.) in the vicinity. When you are holding a baby (or stay close to him\her), do not drink or eat anything too hot.

5. In the car

Doctors recommend to minimize the number of rides in a car with a baby until he can hold his head. If you have to, you can use a special collar for a baby to support the neck. Naturally, a child of any age must be put in a child safety seat. Yes, babies sometimes do not like to stay in the seat fastened, but safety is more important than silence.

To ensure safety in the car, it is important to buy a good safety seat and install it correctly as well.

Group 0 seats (so-called infant carriers) are installed only on the back seat of a car, perpendicular to the direction of the movement, head to door. Baby carriers hold the baby lying on the back.

Group 0+ seats are installed only in a rear-facing position, preferably on the back seat. If you put it on the front seat, make sure to turn the passenger airbag off.

Group 1 seats (for children who weigh 9—18 kg and can already sit properly) are forward-facing. Your baby is secured in the seat with a 5-point harness.

6. When going for a walk

In the summer avoid direct sunlight on the newborn’s skin. When your baby grows up a little, do not forget about the baby sunhat and sunscreen.

ΙΙ. When your baby already crawls

In the blink of an eye you baby will start getting around on his\her own. It seems like only yesterday he\she was laying on his tummy, and there he\she is, already crawled to the cupboard and is now playing with pots, spoons, pasta and other educational material.

If you do not want to impose restrictions or have many reasons to worry, simply make your home safe in advance. Before your little one starts exploring the surroundings, remove all electric cables and other dangerous things from the floor.

1. Safe environment at home

Get into the habit of closing the doors of all potentially dangerous spaces: balconies, pantry, closet with household cleaning products, etc. Put safety plugs into electrical sockets, hide away the cables, household chemicals and pharmaceuticals (better put them in an inaccessible lockable place). Put higher all sharp and breakable objects (such as vases, glass jars and bottles, household tools, etc.). Put away plastic bags and cords.

Let your sweet baby explore the environment without fear. Just make this world around him\her safer.

2. Drawers and cabinets

To ensure that your little one does not jam his fingers while playing with drawers and cabinet doors, put special stoppers on them. You could also temporarily remove handles from some drawers so that the baby could not open them. Drawers and cabinets with dangerous contents must be locked or emptied.

Instead of dangerous objects you can fill them with toys, plastic containers, etc. Packs with different grains make a great toy for a child. They are unusual to touch and rustle, making the baby happy. However, mom will not be so happy when a child learns how to open the pack and paints a creative picture with that buckwheat on the floor.
