It is never a good idea to let him or her roaming the room without your supervision. Bathroom is full of different chemicals, detergents and water threats, and it is not the place for your child to be alone. Furthermore, install a hook-and-eye latch on the outside of the door for even better protection.If a child loses his or her balance, they can easily slip into the toilet. Young children do not have the necessary coordination and they could easily drown in this situation. In order to avoid a hazard, put the lid on the toilet down. Moreover, install a toilet lock, which will prevent the child from lifting the lid up. Razors, baby nail clippers, tweezers, scissors, and any other sharp objects should be placed in locked cabinets. If you do not have one, a high closet can be just as good place for storing all the dangerous items. As long as they are out of child’s reach, it is a great place.When it comes to medications, they can also be a potential threat for the child, considering kids adore playing with little boxes and bottles. Therefore, any pills, ointments, herbs, or powders should be safely stored in a cabinet that only you can unlock and reach. Hair dryers, curling and flat irons, as well as any other device that produces heat should be outside the child’s reach, on a high shelf or in a locked drawer. Moreover, it should always be turned off if you are not using it. Do not leave the curling iron for a second turned on, on a counter if you are not in the room. You never know if the child will be able to reach the cord and burn her or himself with the device.Make sure you have installed the ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

If you already have the ones with sharp edges, the perfect way to make them safer is to use a soft cover on hardware. Not only is this safer for children but for adults as well. Children are naturally very curious and like to explore as soon as they start to walk. Therefore, make sure you have baby proofed the entire house, because there will probably be times when you will lose them from your sight. In order for your child to be unharmed during that and every other moment, keep the bathroom door closed, every sharp and dangerous items outside the child’s reach, and make sure they will not slip and hit on some sharp piece of furniture. Follow these suggestions and your child will be perfectly safe.
