Bathroom Safety Tips
Your world changes when you have a baby. Your world changes even more when your baby starts exploring the world around her. Suddenly, danger lurks around every corner. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to help protect your baby in your home:
- Cover the bathtub spout with an inflatable safety gadget to prevent bruising and burns.
- Never leave a child unattended in the bathtub for even a second.
- Always empty the tub or basin because a child can drown in even a couple of inches of water.
- Install a lid lock on toilets.
- Use safety locks on medicine cabinets and wherever hazardous substances such as cleaning products are kept.
- Remember that adult items like mouthwash and cologne can be dangerous for young children and need to be kept out of reach as well.
- Use a non-slip bath mat both in the tub and on the floor.
- A safety tap guard will prevent scalds from children turning on the hot tap.
