Some houseplants can be poisonous.
Check with your regional Poison Information Centre for a list or description of plants to avoid. Never leave plastic bags lying around the house, especially those from dry cleaners. It is a good idea to knot them before you throw them away so your child is not able to crawl into them or pull them over the head. Teach your child not to go near ponds, wells, riverbanks and other open bodies of water. Watch your child every second when near water, especially on vacation.
