3 essential baby tips to keep your little one protected.

Babies are curious, adventurous, and quick to explore, so we want to make sure that their environment is as safe as possible. For Baby Safety Month, we have prepared a list of effective baby safety tools and tips for your ease of minds as parents and guardians.

1. Baby Monitor & Sensor Pad: keep an eye on your baby 24/7

Investing in reliable baby monitor techonlogy with a sensor pad is a must for peace of mind. You know how we rush to make a quick cup of coffee while baby naps and straining our ears for any baby cries? That nagging anxious feeling of leaving them alone in the crib doesn't go away either. 

Baby monitors allow you to see and hear your infant in real time, ensuring that you’re always aware of their movements or sounds. Placing a sensor pad  under the mattress can detect subtle movements that alerts you on your parent unit if it senses a lack of movement for a period of time. 

Our recommendation: Angelcare 3in1 Monitor with wireless Sensory Pad

• One-time installation
• Non- contact monitoring
• Alarm will sound if there is no movement after 20 seconds
• Wall-mount or tabletop Nursery Unit
• Room temperature display on the Parent Unit and Nursery Unit
• Infrared night vision
• Two-way talk back

2. Baby proofing your home for a safer environment

Seven to 10 months in and your baby starts crawling and walking. So it's better to start baby proofing your home a couple of months before they take off. They will explore every nook and cranny at home and that is why baby proofing your home is the critical next step so that your little one can roam safely. Start by securing dangerous areas like stairs with baby safety gates and use corner guards on sharp-edged furnitures to prevent injuries. Here's a quick babyproofing checklist to help you get started:

• Baby safety gates
• Corner guards
• Cabinet locks
• Safety plugs
• Secure heavy furniture and appliances
• Install window guards and stops
• Hide all cords
• Store any bags out of reach

This is just the beginning! There is a complete list by room on The Bump which we think you will find useful. Article here.

3. Bath support seat for safe and secure bath time.

There's nothing sweeter than those giggles and splashes during bath time. And we as parents want to make sure that baby is comfortable and safe. A bath support seat holds the baby securely while ensuring they remain safe from slipping or tipping over in the water. But even with a support seat, never leave your baby unattended during bath time and always check the water temperature to make sure it's tepid. 

We’re loving the Angelcare®️ Soft Touch Baby Bath Support—it cradles your little one safely during bath time - and the Munchkin White Hot Ducky that warns you when bath water is not suitable for baby’s delicate skin.
