MAY 2022 THE NORTH PLATTE TELEGRAPH Making Your Home Safe for Baby OH BABY
(Family Features) Your little one’s on-the-go adventures mark a huge milestone for his or her development and your family. Before you allow your baby to trek freely from room to room, get your home ready for a child on the move with these safety steps and precautions: Prepare before the birth First-time parents are likely to embark upon a new life filled with late nights, sleep deprivation and a world of stresses they’ve never experienced or considered. Prepare your home before the baby is born to avoid the panic of waiting until the last minute. Tour like your tot The first step toward ensuring your home is ready for a mobile child is to see the world from the same level. Take a crawling tour around your home to see things that may be in the way or discover hazardous items that are within easy reach. Use all of your senses to assess any potential dangers. Latch it up Protect your little one from sharp objects and heavy items by installing child protection latches on all cabinets and drawers. For an added layer of protection, keep any sharp objects and harmful cherish for your lifetime. While I do love a great posed picture, my goal during each session is for my clients to have a good, relaxed time (and always want to come back again), and to show each family how beautiful their tender moments are. As a mother myself, it is important to document your life with your loved ones. Time goes faster than you think and without photos and videos, all you have is your memory. My clients mean so much to me and become my friends. Many of the babies you see in here today are families that I have captured memories for as seniors, for their engagements, at their weddings, during their pregnancy, as their families grow, and for years to come. I have a large client closet at my studio with items that flatter every body size and every age which takes the hard part out of booking a photo session. If you are thinking of booking a session of any type, please feel free to reach me by email at tiffanywilliamsphoto@gmail.com, by Facebook or Instagram.

Evaluate leaning objects Bookshelves, bedside tables and the items placed on them, such as television sets and other large appliances, can be a threat to the safety of a small child trying to pull him or herself up and balance on two feet. Ensure these items are properly secured or keep them put away unless in use to avoid them being pulled on top of your child. Other safety measures To properly prepare your home for a mobile child, don’t forget to take steps such as: • Covering electrical outlets with safety plugs • Placing safety gates at the top and bottom of staircases • Installing fireplace screens • Adding foam padding to sharp furniture corners and edges • Placing a soft cover over the bathtub waterspout • Removing blinds with looped cords or installing safety tassels and cord stops • Stocking your first aid kit • Putting non-slip pads under rugs Find more tips to child-proof your home at eLivingtoday.com .
