Rolling off surfaces

Baby can roll at any time now. Changing table falls are one of the most common infant injuries. Never turn your back, even for a second.

Use the safety strap on the changing table every time. Never leave baby alone on any elevated surface. Consider doing diaper changes on the floor if your baby is very active.

Mouthing everything

Everything goes in baby's mouth now. Keep small objects, coins, batteries, and anything smaller than a toilet paper roll out of reach. Check toys for loose parts.

Older siblings and small toys
severity.info

If you have older children, their small toy pieces (Legos, beads, marbles) are serious choking hazards for baby. Create a system to keep them separate.

action.label

Set up a designated play area for older children's small toys that baby cannot access. Teach older siblings to keep small pieces off the floor. Use containers with lids to store small toys securely.
