Baby Safety Answers!

 

Q: Do you have some bath safety tips?

A: Here's a check list:

• If possible, adjust the hot water heater to below 120 degrees Fahrenheit (49°C), but test the water before hand.
• Fill the tub only two or three inches for newborns and infants up to six months and never more than waist-high (in sitting position) for older children.
• Turn the hot water off first when filling the tub.
• Never leave a child under six unattended for a moment, even in a shallow bath or in a bath ring.
• Have a babysitter simply wash the baby off with a wash cloth outside the tub – as an extra safety precaution.
