Bringing a new child into this worlds is both a wonderfully joyful and extremely worrisome experience. In your home there are so many hidden dangers that you won’t even realise are there. Around every corner there will be another hazard, particularly as your child grows older and becomes more mobile and begins to explore more.
For the most part, you will be able to restrict your baby’s adventures and reduce their exposure to possible risks throughout the home. This is all done by baby proofing the house and making sure that all potential hazards that can be avoided are done so.
First of all, when they are sleeping in their crib at night, or for any time they are there on their own, it is essential that you make sure there is something like a dect baby monitor there to watch them as they rest. Their crib might not seem like a place where they will be in particular danger but in actual fact they can suffer serious problems. For example, over-heating at night can be a major issue for young babies and they will not make any noise when they get too hot. It is, therefore, very important that you are able to see you baby on the monitor to make sure they are okay.
The hazards that your children will face will get a little bigger as they do. When they start to crawl about and then eventually walk and reach for things then they will naturally get themselves into trouble. It is up to you to make sure that you reduce those problems as much as you can. When using your kitchenaid oven for example, never leave it unattended if your infant is around.
Also ensure that the house is fully baby proofed all over. This will include installing child locks in all areas where the child might be so that they cannot open dangerous drawers and find dangerous objects. Also install baby gates all over the house wherever they might fall down, so especially at either end of the stairs.
For any times when you go off for a trip in the car you must have a car seat such as an evenflo convertible car seat installed for the child to sit in and relax.
The dangers that the child suffer do tend to multiply as they get older so you need to stay extra vigilant throughout their early days.
