Keeping Your Home Safe

Here are things you can do to make
your home safe for your baby:

• Close the bathroom door.
• Put gates across steps and stairs.
• Cover unused electrical outlets. Use
  products that cover outlet holes.
• Keep cords from drapes and blinds and
  electrical cords out of your baby’s reach.
• Put baby locks on cabinets.
• Protect your baby from furniture with sharp edges. You may be able
  to move the furniture to another room. Or let her play in another
  room.
• Keep medicines where your baby can’t reach them.
• Move cleaning products from under the sink. Put them where your
  baby can’t reach them.
• Keep small objects and balloons away from your baby.
