Think about the potential hazard of anything you put into the trash. Fireplaces, woodstoves, and kerosene heaters should be screened so that your child can't get near them. Check electric baseboard heaters, radiators, and even vents from hot-air furnaces to see how hot they get when the heat is on. They, too, may need to be screened. Lock ammunition in a separate location.
Alcohol can be very toxic to a young child.
Keep all alcoholic beverages in a locked cabinet and remember to empty any unfinished drinks immediately. Because each baby develops in his own particular manner, it's impossible to tell exactly when or how your child will perfect a given skill. The milestones listed will give you a general idea of what to expect, but don't be alarmed if your own baby's development takes a slightly different course. All Rights Reserved.
