Frequently asked questions about baby safety and healthcare
When should I start baby proofing my house?
It's never too early to start baby proofing your home if you're expecting a child, but it is best to get cracking when they're roughly 4 to 6 months old. This helps you be prepared for increasedm mobility as they begin to crawl, roll and walk more easily. The more places they can reach independently, the greater the risk of an accident.
Where do I start with baby proofing?
As adults, it's easy to miss the little things that may pose a danger to a little child. One way to stay on top of baby safety is to get down to their level, and explore your living space. Keep your eyes open for what might look interesting and inviting to a curious child and check for dangers like sharp edges, electrical outlets, or choking hazards. Once you spot a threat, take steps to mitigate it by removing it or with appropriate accessories like corner guards, socket covers, and more.
Where can I find support as a new mom?
Motherhood is a beautiful journey, but it takes a village to raise a child. The Peanut app is a place where you can find a community of mothers sharing similar experiences, tips, resources, and more. A place to connect with other moms and find your village.
What healthcare products do I need for my baby?
Make your home a safe and healthy environment for your baby with ear thermometers, nasal aspirators, humidifiers, and air purifiers, to help manage allergies and other minor ailments.
What are some more ways to baby proof my home?
There are some steps you can take to enhance baby safety at home apart from buying baby proofing products. If you have furniture like chairs or wardrobes that are likely to tip over with a push, you may want to anchor them to a wall or the floor, or fit them with anti-slip shoes. You could also lock up liquor cabinets or move unsafe items to higher areas out of the reach of curious young hands. Non-slip floor mats are also a great addition to any home for the added safety they offer to everyone regardless of age.
