September is Baby Safety Month

As we embrace September, we acknowledge Baby Safety Month, a dedicated time to focus on keeping our little ones safe.

What is Baby Safety Month? 

September is Baby Safety Month, sponsored annually by the Baby Safety Alliance (formerly JPMA). This year, the Baby Safety Alliance is helping educate parents and caregivers on the safe selection and use of baby products, while encouraging those around us to become safety ambassadors. Here’s a free digital manual, Baby Safety 101, which provides parents with practical, trustworthy guidance for their baby’s first year.

In addition to our tutorial playlist, here are some essential safety tips to keep your little one secure:

• Car Seat Safety: Choose a car seat that is suitable for your baby’s age, weight, and height. Ensure it is properly installed and that your baby is securely fastened according to the car seat’s guidelines.

• Safe Sleep Practices: Always place your baby on their back to sleep on a firm mattress. Avoid using loose bedding, pillows, or toys in the crib to reduce the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS).

• Baby-proofing Your Home: Anchor furniture to the wall to prevent tipping, cover electrical outlets to avoid shocks, and use safety gates to prevent falls. Keep small items, choking hazards, and harmful substances out of reach.

• Feeding Safety: Supervise your baby during feeding times and check that bottles and food are at the appropriate temperature to prevent burns. Always ensure the feeding area is clean and safe.

• Bath Time Safety: Always test the water temperature before placing your baby in the bath to prevent burns. Never leave your baby unattended in the bath, even for a moment.

• Health and Hygiene: Maintain regular pediatric check-ups and follow vaccination schedules. Ensure all baby products, such as toys and bottles, are clean and in good condition.

• Emergency Preparedness: Familiarize yourself with basic first aid and CPR for infants. Keep emergency contact numbers handy and know the location of the nearest emergency room.
