Babies Safety
This subject is of paramount importance. We would like to discuss for a moment the safety in every aspect of your baby. When you take them out and about they must travel in either their baby carrier all strapped in or in a childs car seat ( fitted by the experts ) not done at home by husband or partner.
Always, keep the seat belt on them even as they get older and sit on a booster cushion. Never allow them to take it off whatever the emergency. They really do save lives.
When you are in the home, please fit safety gates at the top and bottom of the stairs, at the entrance to the kitchen so they cannot get near the oven or hobs or crawl inside the washing machine. The kitchen is fraught with dangers so please be very careful and with all the noise that can be going on with microwaves etc you may not hear them.
Guards around fireplaces if you have them. There is so much to think about we do understand but it really is worth it, their safety is paramount.
When they are in the playpen hopefully they are safe. If they are in the middle of learning to crawl and walk then you must be with them at all times.
If you have delicate ornaments around or perhaps a glass table please get rid of these for the time being.
Never allow your little one out in the garden or near the front road without supervision, because there are so many dangers them falling over, or strangers taking them off.
We do hope that after reading this article it may sound like we are a right morbid lot round here, but one of our employees in the offices has a baby and she let hers in toddle into the kitchen and then pulled boiling hot water over themselves trying to grab the handle of a pot on a hob, and it has brought it to our attention that the home is a very dangerous place for babies and toddlers and you just can’t be too careful – sorry for scaremongering you but we only have yours and babies best interests at heart.

Baby Safety
This is a most important subject obviously. Until you have a small child about the place, you probably have never realised just how careful you have to be. Making sure there are no sharp objects around. Like china ornaments or your favourite glass object. Getting rid of square sharp cornered glass tables, or maybe coffee tables made of some kind of wood, but with a non baby friendly shape. Stairs needs a gate. The front door area or garden if it leads out on to the road is also a good idea to have a gate. Make sure when baby starts toddling around that they can’t get into the kitchen with boiling pots and pans or all the dangers there are in that area. Put a gate up at the entrance to there to.
It will not take you long to adapt to the fact that you have now got to think about safety a lot more than you ever did before. Simple things in life, now become a task… but we all adapt quite quickly…
It will be worth the sacrifice, and in a short time you can bring them all out again, as baby gets older.

Babies Safety
This is a very important topic which we thought we should talk about. Looking after babies and children is like walking through a mind field. There are so many aspects to think about. We would like to help out and give you new mums and dads some advice.
When you are pregnant and purchasing your basic requirements you should include the some of the following items:
1. A thermometer that goes in babies ear or mouth
2. A thermometer of mat that changes colour in the bath – to let you know the water is too hot.
3. Saftey gates for the staircase, and possibly for rooms like the kitchen – where there is very hot things.
4. A harness to put round them when they are out with you learning to walk.
5. A car seat with safety attachments. Always buckle up in the car.
6. Take away glass coffee tables or delicate ornaments around your home. Try and make sure your home is baby friendly. If you have very sharp corners on furniture make sure you are with baby for the first months.
7. Never leave a child unattended in the bathroom.
8. Never leave a child unattended in the kitchen with boiling saucepans.
9. Be mindful of the iron – it is another accident just waiting to happen.
10. Generally – you will find you need eyes in the back of your head, Basically you cannot afford to take your concentration off of them for a moment.
11. Keep a lock on the front gate and back garden. Never leave anything unlocked like a shed or gate so they can just wander into the road.
12. A baby monitor so you can hear them at all times in the nursery, or any room they are in.
We will be talking next time to you about Baby Clothes.
Enough doom and gloom – but babies safety is tiresome to say the least. Just try and be sensible and enjoy your new little munchkin. That’s all for now.
