Child Bath Safety

GreatDad.com has some great child safety tips for giving your small child a bath, which is something that many parents worry about. The full list can be found on their site, but here are some of the most important tips:

-Protect your child from falling or hurting themselves on faucets and spouts by placing a towel over the sharp object.  We like the Boon Flo faucet cover for this purpose.

-Always check the temperature of the water before you bathe your child in it. It should never exceed 120 F. Very hot water can scald your baby while extremely cold water can lead to serious illnesses.

-Never leave the child alone, not even for a minute. Every year, several cases of infants drowning are reported even in very little water.
