September is Baby Safety Month, so weβve got a few tips that we always share with new parents to keep their little ones safe:
π€ Safe Sleep! Always follow the AAPβs Safe Sleep Guidelines when your little one is sleeping. Most importantly make sure they are on their back, in a flat, firm space, with no pillows, blankets, or anything else in their sleep space.
π Water Safety! Never leave a baby or young child in the water unattended. Even 1 inch of water can be a drowning risk.
β¬οΈ Fall Safety! Always supervise your baby when they are on an elevated surface. Even if your baby is not rolling yet, itβs still possible to squirm their way off a changing table, bed, or couch.
π‘οΈ Temperature Safety!The ideal temperature for your babyβs nursery is between 68-72 degrees F. Anything above 72 can pose a risk for overheating and anything below 68 can be too chilly for newborns who have to work harder to regulate their body temperature.
Stay safe this month and always!
