7 ways to protect your baby, from dangers in the home to his future
Children, with their presence in the home and in our lives, make us discover a previously unknown love, they make us soften, laugh, and even worry. It is necessary to protect them from any danger that may come. How to do? Here are 7 things you can do right away!
1. Bar the stairs of the house, if any, and put protections on balconies and windows
If you have internal stairs in your house, which may lead to an attic or go down to the basement, put a bar that only an adult can open or climb over. This way he can crawl freely without you having to follow him every moment. If you have metal balconies, with railings, or otherwise open, through which a child can pass, cover them immediately with curtains of solid but flexible material. There is no need to completely cover the railing, a roll of perforated plastic, such as those used in gardening, will do just fine. Your little one can still look through the balcony and start discovering what is out there.

2. Keep detergents and other dangerous products out of her reach
Soap, shampoo, various detergents ... they are toxic and dangerous, of course, but they are also a great source of attraction for your son or daughter. The typical colors with which the packaging of these products is made attract your child like a magnet, because they stimulate his sight and curiosity. Just put them back where he or she could never go ...
3. Protect it from sharp corners in the house
Sharp corners in a house are one of the worst causes of injuries in children, especially when they begin to turn, or worse, run around the house alone. Runs and falls must be part of his experiences, of course, but it is better to cover the sharp corners of the house with soft edge protectors that adhere well.
4. Cover the electrical outlets
Electrical sockets and switches are another source of domestic danger. Just cover and secure them to keep them from sticking your fingers in. More than the do-it-yourself remedy of duct tape, it's better to have power outlets with attached doors. ..
5. Secure refrigerator, oven and furniture doors
Appliance and furniture doors should also be insured. Just place an easy-to-open lock for adults only, so your little one won't be able to browse undisturbed between shopping in the fridge and pots. The toaster, the blender, the microwave oven ... all presences that we take for granted in the kitchen and we tend to forget, except having to remember them when they become a risk for someone. When the children arrive, be careful not to leave the power sockets of these small appliances plugged in, and in any case keep them out of their reach to prevent them from dragging them around.
6. Protect it while you cook
Let's stay in the kitchen: another great danger are pots on the fire, dishes that cook happily but which could become very dangerous. Children are always curious, and it would be better not to let them in the kitchen while you are too busy preparing lunch or dinner, or if they really want to have a "look, it is better that they come in accompanied by an adult!"
7. Think about his future
One last way to take care of your child's safety is to think about his future, when he will no longer be a baby. Even when he is a teenager, or a young man or woman, it is best to start protecting him now.
