Crib safety
crib bars should not be more than 2 inches apart.
Use bumpers to avoid suffocation from mattresses and to prevent injury from head banging.
Prone position is associated with increased risk of SIDS. So, position the infant on their side or back while sleeping.
Thermal injury – Set the water heater temperature below 120F to prevent accidental scalding by sitting in the water( Most heaters are set at 150F and can cause scalds in infants)
Use child seat in the cars and place the child seat in the rear.
