If you are invited to a smokers home, politely ask if guests could smoke in only one or two rooms of the house, then keep baby away from those rooms. When visiting other people's homes, ask the host if you can move small breakable and dangerous items to higher places. Work with your host to ensure doors to bathrooms and stairways are closed. Keep your baby away from all plants. Although it may seem inappropriate to suggest gifts, it is very important to inform people of your baby's special safety needs.
Most toys have an age listing somewhere on the package.
Tell givers to look for your child's age group. Toys that contain small parts are dangerous to children younger than age 3. Some toys are too loud. If the sound a toy makes initiates pain when pressed to the ear, don't buy it. Make sure toys that are purchased for older children will not be dangerous to the baby.
