Baby Dangers in the home

It's a whole new world for your little one and they are ready to explore. Before you set them out on their own. Let's take a look from their point of view. Start out by getting on the floor and see what temptations are laying at your babies finger tips. One of these interest are the wall plugs in your home. Do you have them protected with the proper wall covers? Many stores are selling the little plastic covers that go over the wall plugs. Which are difficult to get out of the outlet and more likely not to be put back into place when removed. This poses two dangers. One danger being now your child has access to the outlet. The second danger being, now the device that was intended to protect your child now poses potential danger for choking. If left out it could potentially fall on the floor, and now a wonderful mouth accessory for your child to stick in their mouth. Using a sliding wall cover is a better solution for protecting your wall outlets. They are easy to insert and hard for your child to remove. Sliding wall outlet covers are also more covenant and you don't have to remove and reinsert them whenever you get ready to use them. You just simply slide the cover and its ready for use. Do you have the proper areas in your home blocked off from your little one? Such areas would be the bathroom, laundry room, and the kitchen. These places of your home pose the most danger. The bathroom and laundry room can pose drowning dangers if not proper baby proofing is not applied. It only takes an inch of water for your child to drown. You can prevent this danger by blocking off your bathroom and childproofing your bathroom. You can use a door cover or a baby gate to block access to the bathroom and use toilet locks as well as using close supervision when your child is in this room. Prevent burns by adjusting your water heater temperature to 120 Fahrenheit. A front load washer and dryer can look like a fun new toy to your little tot. Make sure that access to your laundry room is closed off. When childproofing your kitchen make sure that access to the cabinets are closed off and if you have to store cleaners in the kitchen make sure they are stored high and out of reach of small children. You can lock your cabinets using childproof door locks or magnetic locks to ensure your child can not gain access to cleaners or any cooking supplies. The pantry should also be locked up to prevent anything falling on your little one. These are a few tips you can use when childproofing your home. You should always use what works best for you. Use the most important childproofing tool, supervision. After you are finished childproofing your home you will be able to let your child roam with the peace of mind that your child is safer. Remember that accidents are going to happen and your child is going to fall every now and then. This is just to eliminate the major dangers in your home. I hope this has helped.
