Bathrooms are full of dangers for your wandering little one. This baby proofing checklist for the bathroom will help you eliminate those dangers.
- To avoid burning the baby's delicate skin, check the bath water temperature before putting your baby into the bath tub. Water should feel warm, but not hot, to the touch.
- Never leave your child alone in the bathtub or near water to l prevent children from drowning.
- Ensure medicines and cleaning products are in containers with safety caps. Any leaky bottles or cartons should be discarded.
- If your bathroom is not carpeted, place throw rugs or other non-slip covers to avoid your little one from slipping.
- Place child proof latches on your cupboard drawers.
- Place a latch on the toilet seat to prevent your baby from drowning in the toilet.
- Keep your bathroom clean. Uncleanliness can spawn bacteria which can make your baby ill.
- To avoid electrocution, make sure all electric cords are far away from sinks and the bathtub.
- Make sure there is no way your baby can accidentally lock themselves in the bathroom. Read the manufacturers manual for directions on how to unlock a bathroom door from the outside.
- As with any room, make sure electrical outlets are covered.
