Check out the mattress carefully. If the fit between the mattress and the bars isn't snug, the baby's head could be caught. You should also make sure crib toys are soft, and no buttons or other parts are loose. Safety checks should also be made of any other equipment including crib gyms, playpens, high chairs, and gates. Never leave your infant unattended in the bath, on the bed, or in a car.
Electrical outlets are a source of curiosity.
Cover all unused outlets. Make sure that all cleaning solutions, insecticides, and medications are out of reach. Even house plants can be a danger. Always use the car seat, even if you are just going a short distance. Remember, in all 50 states, a parent who does not strap a young child into a car seat is breaking the law.
