Unfortunately, it is not possible to make this area out of bounds for the baby. The best that parents can do is to put a latch somewhere high on the bathroom door and closely supervise the baby s visits to the bathroom. As far as staircases are concerned, parents should keep in mind that babies usually learnt to climb up the stairs much before they learn how to get down. Therefore, it is advisable to put a gate at the top of the stairs. A gate can also be put at the third step from the bottom as a precaution to prevent the baby from tumbling very far down.
Babies have a tendency to put almost everything they get their hands on into their mouths.
Thus, in households that have a lot of indoor plants, it is recommended that parents get rid of plants that are potentially lethal. Dangling vines are unsafe, as babies are likely to pull and drag them down. If parents do decide to keep plants, they should ensure that the pots are placed well out of reach. All windows should be locked and barred so that there is no danger of the baby falling out of them. All Rights Reserved Worldwide.
