Home Safety : Keeping our little ones safe

/

Each year about 25 children aged 0-14 are killed and 58,000 are hospitalised by unintentional injuries. The kind we refer to as accidents.

I caught up with Carolyn Ziegler from Dreambaby to ask her for some top tips on getting our homes safe for our bubs, tots and pre-schoolers.

Here's some key take-aways:

  • Get down on all fours and look up as if you were a crawler.
  • Use child safety gates to keep pets away, or children away from certain areas.
  • Keep the cot away from blind cords (and/or use cord wind ups).
  • Secure furniture, TV screens, etc to stop them from falling.
