There are a lot of things in the house that can bring fatal accidents to babies but a lot of parents or guardians are not paying too much attention to them.
Believe it or not there have been many children who have died right in a house that had a guardian or a parent because too little attention was paid to these little things that are safe to adults but not babies. All these things should be baby proofed before the baby even leaves the hospital.
For example, the electrical outlets around the house should all have safety covers that will prevent the baby from sticking in their finger. The plugs should also always never be left on the on position if they are not being currently used.
We all know that sharp corners of furniture can be dangerous to us but even more so to babies. These require that you cushion all of them well with some padding. Any other things around the house that you would say are sharp would also have to be well out of the way of the baby in locked drawers.
When the baby is in the stage of crawling around the house you will need even more care than before because at this time there will be a lot of falling and other random accidents. Take away everything that they can come across on their path like electric cords and curtain ropes.
Invest in a lot of non slip pads that you can put under various items around the house like the rugs and mats. This will help you avoid the baby from taking any nasty falls.
Speaking of falling, anything that can trip your baby and cause them to fall should be taken out of their way. This includes cords and folds in the carpets that their feet can get caught on.
If you have the large glass doors you will have to make sure that you put decals or stickers on them so that the baby can know there is an object in front of them.
