After the kitchen, the bathroom is the part of the house where more domestic accidents occur. Its greatest danger is that it is a place where water can cause serious accidents such as drowning, slipping or falling.
Any precaution is little when it comes to the safety of our children and we are the parents responsible for turning our home into a safe place.
To minimize the risks in one of the most dangerous places in the house, we must take into account some child safety tips in the bathroom.
Prevent the child from being in the bathroom, except for what is necessary, such as going to the toilet, bathing, washing hands or teeth.
Never leave the baby or the child alone in the bathtub with water. Not even for a few seconds.
Place a mat or any other non-slip system on the floor of the bathtub.
Until the baby is able to stand up on his own, always bathe him with some kind of support, be it a hammock or a hoop.
Place a grab bar in the bathtub.
When filling the bathtub, first open the tap of the cold water and then the hot one.
Do not let the child into the bathtub until you verify that the water temperature is adequate.
If you have it, adjust the hot water temperature in the tap. It must not exceed 35 degrees.
After bathing the child, immediately empty the bathtub.
Remove from the reach of children razors, scissors, cosmetics, medications.
Never leave plugged in electrical appliances such as the hair dryer, the shaver, or the epilator.
If possible, remove the bathroom door latch or place it as high as possible. It is always desperate for a child to be locked in a room, but in the bathroom it is even more so.
Place caps on the plugs.
Close the toilet lid after use. The toilet produces a special attraction among the little ones, that is why there are some safeguards that keep the lid closed preventing the fingers from being caught or putting their hand inside.
Keep the soil always dry.
