Tips to protect your baby

  • Your baby just needs a firm mattress and fitted sheets for the crib. Remove blankets and toys from the crib.
  •  It is important that you use your child’s car seat the right way.
  • Make sure you have a working smoke alarm and carbon monoxide alarm on every level of your home and in all sleeping areas.
  • Place your baby ‘s cribs and other furniture away from the windows and blinds. It is safe not to have anything with strings or cords within reach.
  • Set the water heater to 120 F to avoid scalds.
