Prevent hazards before baby becomes mobile.
What to do
1. What to prepare
Anchor heavy furniture and televisions, lock away medicines and cleaners, secure blind cords and keep batteries and magnets out of reach.
2. What to check
Use appropriate stair gates and window protection; guards do not replace supervision. Recheck at baby’s level as mobility changes.
