Always keep the soap and towels within reach, so you needn t let go of baby. Baby enjoys baths so much that a bucket of water, the toilet, or wading pools look good to him. Be extra careful to keep baby away from them. Foods to avoid include whole grapes, hot dog chunks, nuts, and raw carrots. Small household items can get stuck in baby s throat.
Plastic bags can seem like a source of fun to baby.
They really are a source of danger. Throw them away immediately, or keep them far from baby. Although baby always seems to lose his pacifier, never tie it around his neck. It can get caught on something and strangle baby. The assistance of the National Safety Council in reviewing the safety advice is acknowledged.
