The bathroom ranks second in danger in the house, after the kitchen. Do you want your baby to be safe? Keep reading and we’ll tell you how to do it.
Is your baby already crawling? As soon as it begins to move by itself, many areas of your home can pose a risk to the little explorer. Medicines, cosmetics, sharp objects and, on the other hand, the electrical devices that attract so much attention. No matter how many precautions are taken, you should never let your guard down. It does not hurt to take a look around you and see if you have achieved a safe environment:
1. The first thing is to keep the door closed to prevent it from entering the bathroom. For greater security, a bolt can be placed on the outside, at a height that the little ones cannot reach, and the interior handle cannot be used to prevent them from being locked.
2. Medications should be locked up. The same applies to hygiene products, cleaning and sharp objects. It is also convenient to remove from its scope cleaning products, cleaning, grooming, and cosmetics (disinfectants, flavors, shampoos, makeup).
3. The electrical appliances (hairdryer, shaver…) must be well stored and, of course, nothing to leave them connected to the electric current.
4. Always lower the toilet lid. The specialized stores sell childproof locks to contain the kids with a desire for aquatic research.
5. Avoid leaving stools that facilitate access to cabinets or shelves.
6. Whenever the bathtub is used, it must be emptied immediately, both the baby’s and the family’s.
Leave him alone? Never
If you have already bathed the baby in the family bathtub, you should be careful not to leave him alone in the bathtub, cover the tap so that he doesn’t hurt himself, and put a non-slip mat on the bottom so that he doesn’t slip. Then it is convenient to place a carpet or towel on the floor when taking the child out of the bath to avoid falls
