Keep Your Baby Safe

1.   If your baby is less than one year old, keep pillows out of the crib! 

2.      The bedroom door should never be locked while baby is in there.

3.      Baby should not sleep with any clothing that ties around the neck such as  a  bib.

4.      All electrical outlets that are not in use should be plugged especially if your baby is crawling.

5.      Do  not let your baby be near any open window where the screen could give way.

Of course there are other things that should be considered. Take a look around your baby’s bedroom for any potential hazard.

I know this is very old fashion but many parents are passing on the usual disposable diaper especially if they are going “green”.

Here is a link for the video on how to use them.

Amazon.com Review
Take your average guide for new mothers, chuck most of the stuff about breast feeding and ditch the deep background research and stats, then generously pepper with illustrations and burley humor and what do you have? Your average guide for new fathers. Be Prepared follows that template pretty closely, and that’s really quite an acceptable thing. Yes, there’s a bit too much emphasis here on broadly drawn manly stuff like changing a diaper at a ballgame, but there’s also heaps of useful advice that’s cleverly and efficiently presented for pops who, despite their best intentions, really aren’t prepared to dig into encyclopedia-sized tomes. The basics (childproofing, bathing, feeding, entertaining) intermix with nifty sidebars (homemade bath toys, foods to never give your baby, exercises for dads) in easy-to-peruse chapters organized according to the age of the offspring up to age 1. There are more thorough how-to guides for new dads, but for most men moving into fatherhood, Be Prepared will fill the bill. –Steven Stolder
