Child Safety

It's very important to learn about Child Safety before your baby is born. If possible, seek out parental education classes to learn about keeping your child safe. In the beginning days and months of your baby's life, you will need to know how to safely transport your newborn in an infant car seat.

It will also be very important to know how to safely feed and bathe your baby. Sleep will become more important to you than it has ever been before. You will learn to go without long stretches of sleep because your baby will need to eat every three or four hours day and night. Seek out a network of other new parents. You will be grateful for the helpful advice and adult interaction.

It will also be vital that you put your baby to sleep in a safe place and positioned correctly. Your childcare educator or your child's health care provider should offer you the very best advice on safe sleeping. Generally, they teach to put your baby to sleep on their back in a crib or basinet. Always consult with your child's doctor if you have concerns about safety issues or your child's health.
