- Regular Health Care Visits – keeping your baby safe includes keeping them healthy. Make sure you visit your pediatrician regularly to make sure your baby’s development is on track. Check out this schedule for well-child visits. Part of their health care routine should include regular visits to the dentist. Schedule their first dental visit within six months of the eruption of their first tooth or by their first birthday as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
- Keep Your Utensils Out Of Their Mouths – babies love to explore the world with their mouths, but putting things in their mouths exposes them not just to choking hazards but to all kinds of germs. But most parents don’t think twice about sharing spoons or straws with their baby. Don’t do it!. Cavities are created from bacteria, and the cavity-causing germs in a parent’s mouth can be transferred to baby’s!
Clearly this list isn’t all inclusive, for more baby safety tips visit the American Academy of Pediatrics and WebMD for their guides to baby safety.
