Your toddler may be clumsy simply due to her trials to master so many new physical skills at the same time. The more active she is, the more likely she will drop things, run into things, or fall down. ||Don't ever be afraid to ask for help from a friend or relative. Time away will let you recharge. ||If your child's scalp is very crusty, put some baby oil or olive oil on the scalp 1 hour before washing to soften the crust ||A great deal of body heat is lost through a bare head, so make sure your baby wears a hat if she will be in a cold environment ||Infants raised on breast milk tend to score higher on tests of mental development than those on formula ||Don’t rush into solving your kid's problems. Give him the chance to conclude, all on his own, that things are going to be okay. ||Set aside time for your partner and share what's happening in each other's life ||Don't let your baby nap in the car seat after you're home as a substitute for crib since it's harder for young babies to breathe in that position ||In case of eczema, use mild, unscented body and laundry soaps. Pat baby's skin dry; don't rub ||Infant constipation is the passage of hard, dry bowel movements — not necessarily the absence of daily bowel movements ||
Safety tips for crawling babies

 
On average, babies start to crawl at 8 months. Use this checklist to help you prepare for a kid who can go from here to there in the blink of an eye.
 
Safe Bathing & Toilet
 
  • Fill tub just enough to cover baby's legs (2 to 3 inches of water)
  • Use warm, not hot, water (35.5 to 38 degrees Celsius).
  • Never leave baby in tub unsupervised, not even for a few seconds.
  • Put nonslip mats in bathtub and on the floor next to the tub.
  • Nice to have: Soft covers for bathtub spout and knobs.
  • Install a toilet-seat lock to prevent drowning
 
Safe kitchen
 
Preventing burns
  • Don't carry hot food or drink and your baby at the same time.
  • Keep hot food and drink away from edges of tables and counters.
  • Don't hold baby while cooking at stove.
  • Turn pot handles toward back of stove.
  • Secure oven door with an appliance latch.
 
Forbidden territory
  • Keep knives, breakables, heavy pots, and other dangerous items locked up or out of reach.
  • Put locks or latches on accessible cabinets and drawers that contain unsafe items.
  • Distract baby from forbidden places by keeping one cupboard unlocked and filled with lightweight, baby-safe items.
  • Keep trash cans in inaccessible cupboards or use cans with child-resistant covers.
  • Secure refrigerator with appliance latch.
  • Lock matches and lighters in a cabinet that is higher than your shoulders
 
Safe bedroom
 
Changing table & Highchairs
  • Use table with safety strap.
  • Don't leave baby unattended.
  • Use a stable, wide-based highchair with a safety strap.
  • Don't use baby clothing with drawstrings.
 
Crib
  • Avoid using soft, fluffy pillows or comforters under sleeping baby.
  • When baby gets up on hands and knees, remove mobiles and hanging toys.
  • Don't leave toys in crib when baby is sleeping.
  • Keep drop side of crib up and locked when you're not in the room.
 
Sleep (SIDS prevention measures)
  • Put baby to sleep on his back.
  • Don't let baby sleep or nap on pillows or fluffy bedding such as comforters or sheepskins.
  • Don't put baby to sleep on water beds or other soft surfaces.
 
The safest toys:
  • Have no buttons, eyes, beads, ribbons, or other pieces baby could pull off and choke on.
  • Are not too heavy (would not harm baby if it fell on him)
  • Have no strings or cords longer than 12 inches so it can't be hung around baby's neck.
 
Safe housing
 
Doors & windows
  • Use doorstops and door holders to protect baby's fingers.
  • Mark sliding doors and other expanses of glass with colorful stickers.
  • Use window guards, window stops, and safety netting on windows
 
Electrical outlets, cords, and appliances
  • Put safety plugs or covers over unused outlets or block with furniture.
  • Hide electrical cords behind furniture or use hide-a-cord device.
  • Keep electrical appliances unplugged and out of reach.
 
Preventing falls
  • Never leave baby alone on beds, sofas, bouncy chair, highchair, changing table, or in any other spot from which he could fall
  • Install gates to block stairways at bottom and top.
  • If railings have openings wider than 4 inches, block with plastic garden fencing, or other material.
 
Furniture
  • Attach corner and edge guards.
  • Secure furniture that can fall over (like bookcases) to the walls.
  • Keep TV and other heavy items on low, sturdy furniture, pushed back as far as possible.
  • Secure tall, unstable lamps behind furniture.
 
Poison-proofing
  • Survey your house and move cleaning agents, medicines, vitamins, toiletries, and other potentially toxic items out of reach or locked up.
  • Move handbags out of reach.
  • Get rid of toxic houseplants.
  • Post the number for Toxicology Centre 08007770999, near phones.
 
Water
  • Don't leave baby unattended even for a moment in or near a pool.
  • If you have a pool, erect fencing at least 4 feet high with a self-closing, self-latching gate.
  • Don't leave even small amounts of water, cleaning solutions, or other liquids in containers.
