Precautions to take
Never take your eyes off your child at bath time. Have all the materials you need for the bathroom at hand beforehand so you don't have to go out again. If you are using a bathtub, focus your attention on it. Always keep an eye on the tub.
Always test the temperature of the water before putting your child in the tub. Do not forget to place strips on the bottom of the tub to prevent slipping. Especially support it with something like rubber that will act as a buffer on the battery against head bumps. Do not forget to empty the tub after the bath. If you're using a bucket, get it out of the way. Put a lock on the toilet seat and be careful to keep the lid closed.
Make new arrangements in the bathroom
Position your items or furniture in the bathroom in such a way that your child does not allow them to climb. Consider that soap in the sink and shower can fall on the floor and cause slipping, and secure it out of your child's reach. Make sure that there are no sharp corners in the areas in the bathroom. Cover the entire bathroom area with non-slip material. (There are many materials in DIY stores for this.) Take care to position the sockets in the bathroom in such a way that they do not pose a danger. Use capped sockets designed for wet areas and be careful not to run the cables of electrical appliances you will use in the bathroom over the sink during use.
Install removable hinges on the bathroom and toilet doors, you will ensure that the door is opened from the outside against your child locking the bathroom door from the inside.
Keep materials that can cause poisoning, such as medicines, detergents, make-up, out of the reach of your child.
