23.01.2022 You have completely baby proofed the home and then you look down at your dog. It might sound strange but baby proofing the dog bowl is important for child safety for many reasons including choking and illness. Here are some quick tips to baby proof the pet food and water bowls:... - If the space you leave the bowls does not have a door that be closed, place a safety gate to act as a barrier. - Buy baby safe dog bowls. - Try not to feed your dog in the view of baby. This can stop the baby from being interested in their food. - Teach your baby not to go near the dog bowls. This requires a lot of patience but is worth it!

17.01.2022 Give a toddler a new toy and they will be interested in it for a couple of moments. Let a toddler explore the house and they will want to play with any item that is unsafe. The irony. Blind cords are one of those household items that seem shiny and fun to babies and toddlers but are unsafe if left dangling. Wrapping them up securely will prevent strangulation and choking risks. .... . . . . #safetysaturday #babysafe #homesafe #firststeps #safesteps #babyproofers #sydneymums #sydneydads #sydneybaby #windowsafety
16.01.2022 JUST THE RIGHT HEIGHT FOR TODDLERS TO REACH Every day the NSW Poisons Centre receives multiple calls from concerned parents whose toddlers have accessed the to...ilet gel disc or cage hanging in the toilet bowl. These products are often nice smelling, brightly coloured and are usually at just the right height to catch the eye of an inquisitive toddler. If you have toddlers living in or visiting your home keep your bathroom door closed & toilet lid down to reduce the chance of accidental ingestion or consider using an alternative toilet cleaner. If you suspect your child has had contact with these products always wipe out their mouth, offer a small sip of water and wash their hands & face well to remove any residue. Many of these in-bowl toilet cleaners are soapy detergents and unlikely to cause serious effects, however, some may be more harmful so always call the Poisons Centre on 131126 for further advice after any accidental exposures. #poisonsinfo #preventpoison #kidssafety See more

01.01.2022 Batteries and babies The inside of batteries are filled with dangerous chemicals that are very harmful to the digestive system for young children and babies. If swallowed they can lodge in the airways and block breathing. Lithium button batteries are particularly dangerous because they can burn through tissue and blood vessels within hours of consumption.... WHAT CAN YOU DO??? - Only buy products with battery compartments that are secured with a child resistant compartment eg require a screwdriver to open compartment, need two simultaneous movements to open the battery compartment. - Throw away used batteries immediately - Watch your children if they are playing with toys that use button batteries.
