Some ways to prevent injuries in your newborn baby


Children love to explore, but they do not know the difference between what is fun and what is dangerous.
That's why they need to have someone looking after them all the time.

Some ways to prevent injuries in your newborn baby:
  • Never leave your baby unattended in a baby seat, on a table, in a high chair, or on a couch or bed.
  • Never leave your baby alone with a toddler or a pet.
  • When bottle-feeding, the bottle should never be propped. It should be held by someone so that the feeding is supervised.
  • Don't drink hot beverages while your baby is in your arms or on your lap.
  • Keep plastic bags out of your child's reach to prevent suffocation.
  • Put your baby on her (or his) back to sleep. SIDS ( Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is less common in babies who sleep on their backs. If your baby is old enough to turn her back from her tummy on her own during sleep, you don't have to force her to sleep on her back.
