Safety Information

nine to twelve months

In addition to the concerns raised with the 6-9 month information, now exercise special care with MEDICATIONS

• Keep them in a closed, preferably, locked space. Never carry any in a purse as kids love looking in there for treats. Watch grandmother's purse when she visits-- they are often full of medications, potentially dangerous to the baby.

• Never store poisonous substances in empty jars or soda bottles or anything else resembling a safe household product

Plus...

• Be especially careful with sharp objects such as knives and scissors

• Lower the crib mattress

• Get down on the floor-a baby's eye view-and see what's interesting, then move it

• Empty buckets or small pools immediately after use

• Ensure that swimming pools have a four-sided fence with a self-closing, self-latching gate

• Do not leave heavy objects or containers of hot liquids on tables with tablecloths that the baby may pull down

• Keep pet food and dishes out of reach
