Baby safety should be our main concern when babies reach the age of crawling. They love to explore and find new things to get themselves into. We as parents need to ensure we do our part to keep them from harm. Baby proofing your home is the number one way to ensure their safety while exploring things around them. Here are a few tips I have done when raising my babies.

Electrical outlets are very dangerous for babies; they could stick their finger, or an object into the outlet. This will give them an electrical shock. Place electric outlet plugs in all wall outlets throughout your home.

Hanging wires from televisions, or other electrical items you may have. Keep them out of sight by purchasing a cover for them.

Kitchen stoves with hot pans can create a hazard for your baby. Never let your baby enter while cooking. Use a playpen, highchair or a baby gate to keep them out.

Small objects on the floor should be kept up away from your babies, they are a choking hazard if they find and put in their mouths.

Sleeping babies should be placed on their backs not their stomach. This ensures they do not suffocate.

Cleaning supplies should be kept under lock and key to prevent babies from drinking.

Baby gates should be placed throughout your home in areas you do not want the little one going into.

Bath time should be fun for your baby. Always stay with them and never leave them unattended.

Medications should be kept out of reach and under lock and key to prevent the baby from thinking its candy.

Beds should be fitted with tight sheets to prevent suffocation. Do not put pillows or quilts in the baby bed for him or her to sleep with.

High chairs should be kept away from tables to prevent the baby from pushing themselves over and getting hurt.

Pools need to have gates that remained locked without adult supervision, to prevent the baby from crawling or walking into the pool.

Buckets with water or liquid should never be left where a baby could fall into it and drown.

Stairs should have a gate at the top and bottom to prevent from falling.

These are only a few things that can be done to ensure the safety of babies. Common sense in taking precautions we already know will help prevent injuries.
