Discover 5 essential tips for baby safety month to help you keep your little one safe and secure. Learn how to create a safe environment for your baby here.
No matter what month of the year, baby safety tips are always important. This September, being the official baby safety month, we at Unilove would like to share some essential tips that can help protect your little one from harm.
01. Install a Safe Car Seat
One of the most important things you can do to protect your baby is to install a safe car seat. A car seat does a fantastic job of protecting your little one from the sudden jerks and movements of a moving vehicle. Choosing a car seat appropriate for your baby's age and weight is essential so that it fits snugly and safely. Furthermore, while we trust your capable hands, getting your car seat professionally installed is an extra precaution that is recommended.
02. Babyproof your home
Babies are notoriously accident-prone, even without the ability to walk or crawl. So, another important tip for baby safety is to babyproof your entire home. This includes,
- Never leave your baby unattended on a changing table, couch, or bed. We suggest using the Unilove Hug Me Plus 3-in-1 Bedside Bassinet whenever your hands are too occupied.
- Keeping all medications and cleaning supplies out of reach.
- Installing window guards to prevent your baby from falling out of a window.
- Use a safety gate to keep your baby out of areas that are not safe for them.
03. Practice Safety In The Kitchen
The kitchen is a dangerous place for babies. Thus, some important tips to remember during baby safety awareness month are to,
- Always keep hot food and liquids away from the edge of the table.
- Use a stove knob cover to prevent your baby from turning on the stove.
- Keep your baby away from the dishwasher when it is running.
Additionally, you can use the Unilove Feed Me 3-in-1 Dining Booster Seat to keep your baby secure and comfortable during mealtimes. This keeps children away from all hazardous surfaces while ensuring your child's comfort.
04. Practice Safety In The Bathroom
Another tip to be aware of during baby safety month is to be extra vigilant in the bathroom. In a place where even adults are prone to accidents, it's important to be on the lookout where your little one is concerned. This includes taking precautions like,
- Never leave your baby unattended in the bathtub.
- Keeping all medications and cleaning supplies out of reach.
- Installing a safety lock on the toilet lid.
05. Be Vigilant When Going Outside
Taking your baby on strolls and walks is a great way to pass the time with your child. However, you must be alert even during this quality time with your child. Some crucial tips for baby safety when outside is to,
- Invest in a secure and comfortable baby stroller, such as the Unilove On The Go 3-in-1 Frame Stroller with Reversible Toddler Seat, making it easy for you and your baby to move.
- Be aware of your baby's surroundings at all times.
- Never leave your baby alone in a parked car.
- Teach your baby about stranger danger.
