Babies move quickly after they start to crawl. It is now easier for them to reach the things they are curious about, to touch them, to try to get to know them by putting them in their mouth. This movement brings with it many dangers. Since their balance is not fully developed, many objects around them are in a position to pose a threat. It is necessary to arrange the design of the houses with high accident potential, together with the inclusion of the baby in your life.
The baby's living space must be made safe by the parents. As his interests change from infancy to childhood, he expands in areas around him that may be threatening.
Risky Areas in Your Home That Could Be a Minesweeper:
Doors: Arrange all the room and closet doors in the house to prevent slamming. Especially the kitchen door should be the place to be observed the most.
Electrical Mechanism: If the sockets in the house are open models, replace them with the ones with cover, make sure that the electrical switches are also safe.
Playground: Support your baby's playground with soft surfaces such as pillows that will not harm your baby when he loses his balance and falls, by clearing it of objects that may pose a danger. Also, it should not be in a position to spy on it when you are in the kitchen or other room.
Windows: You should prevent items such as coffee tables and armchairs from climbing out by keeping them away from windows.
Cooker: Make sure your stove is not near doors and windows. Make sure it is under your supervision. Build a safety barrier in front of the stove.
Floors: If the floor surfaces are not wet, it prevents it from slipping.
Medicines: Keep your medicine cabinet in your home out of his reach.
Floor: You should be careful that the floor is not slippery.
Door Sills: Interior door thresholds must be in a way to prevent tripping and falling.
Handrails: If there is a staircase in the house, there must be a handrail and the width between the railings should not exceed 80-90 mm.
Water Storage: If there is a water tank or similar storage in your home, you should be very careful that the mouths are closed.
Workshop and or Garden: Make sure that it is in a position that will not pose a danger when it reaches these places.
Furniture with Pointed Corners: Secure pointy furniture with soft coaters such as sponge.
Chemicals: Keep toxic substances such as household detergents and bleach in their original boxes and in cabinets out of reach.
As the things to be considered may vary according to each house, as parents, you should be vigilant and be careful against accidents that may occur at home frequently.
