6 Baby Safety Helpful Tips

As we planned out the month of September, we learned that this month is "Baby Safety Month". You may be asking yourself why is a plumbing company writing about this - and the answer is simple. We are parents and grandparents who want to share this knowledge with eachother, as well as the Dallas and surrounding communities, which we serve. In our 31 years in service, we've seen our customers' families grow - just like our own - and we have learned first-hand the importance of baby safety. 

Cute and Surprising Baby Safety Tips

1. Soft Snacks Only. Make sure their food is soft and easy to swallow. Harder foods present a chocking hazard. 
2. Medicine Isn't Candy. In an effort to make it easier for babies to take medicine, pharmaceutical companies have been making baby medicine taste like candy. This is of great help to parents, doctors, and children, when administering the medicine, but it can teach children that medicine is candy. Keep medicine out of reach from children in the event that they want more "candy" while you aren't around.
3. Don't Toss the Baby. Though it may seem fun, doctors warn against tossing the baby in the air, as it can cause blindness or brain damage. 
4. Watch for Broken Toys. To prevent a chocking episode, try to only have toys that are larger than the baby's mouth. Keep an eye out for broken toys and sharp edges that could easily scratch the baby's skin or hurt them in any way.
5. Build a Fort. That means baby gates everywhere! From child proofing the house so the baby won't get to the cleaning products, products we place under the bathroom sink, or even the stairs, it's better to be safe than sorry. Think of your home as the baby's castle until he is old enough to look out for himself.
6. Warm Milk. We remember the long nights and early mornings. The rush to the kitchen to warm up the milk. Remember to always check how warm the milk is before giving it to the baby to prevent possible burns.
