About Baby Language

It is the best feeling in the world, it is the best joy that life could bring, and nothing beats the wonder of giving birth.  It is a new chapter in a family’s life and even the worst of family conflicts can get resolved once a baby is born into the world.With a new infant, baby proofing one’s home is very essential. Before the baby comes home from the nursery, your home should be baby-proof and all secured. 

The American Society for Testing and Matehanges has set forth some guidelines back in 1992 for making sure that baby cribs are safe enough for your child. Make sure that before purchasing a crib for your baby, it should be made at least since 1992. In accordance to the standards, the mattress should fit properly to the base and rails to make sure your bay will not slip out. 

Slats in the crib should not have spaces wide enough for baby’s head to get trapped. Bolts, screws and small items should be kept attached to the crib. Make sure everything is screwed tightly and the crib is as sturdy as possible.

Mesh holes should be smaller than what baby’s head could fit into. Mesh holes and other openings can get baby’s head trapped. 

Belts should be installed to high chairs and other items in the house such as changing tables and baby swings. Your baby should always be secured in places where he or she could fall.

Fire hazards should be at least four feet away from the crib to prevent them from catching fire.Taking care of an infant is so much different from a baby that has started walking. It’s a whole lot challenging and needs more attention. 

Baby should be off limits to areas in your home that have corners and edges. Your baby’s play area should have paddings and covers to protect the baby from bumps.Choking hazards should be removed from baby’s reach. Toys and other items containing lead should not be near anywhere your baby because sucking or ingesting them can cause lead poisoning which could be fatal.Outside of your home, your baby should be secured in baby car seats during travelling. The slightest nudge when traveling could pose as a physical hazard to your infant. Baby carriers need to be comfortable, secured, and following legal guidelines.
