  • Make sure that the car seat is always secured properly. (Free car seat check : 687-3366)

  • Put the baby to sleep on their back or side to decrease the risk of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)

  • Test the water temperature on your wrist to make sure it's not too hot before giving the baby a bath.

  • Do not drink hot liquids while holding the baby

  • Never leave the baby alone with a young sibling or pet. Do not leave the baby alone in a tub if water (even to answer the phone) or on high places such as a changing table or chair

  • Always keep one hand on the baby

  • Don't reheat formula in the microwave-- it heats unevenly and can burn the baby's mouth
