Baby safety gates FAQs
What is the difference between a bassinet and
a crib?
A bassinet is a small cradle used for an infant during its first few
months of life. While it is perfectly fine to use a crib when the baby
is born, most people prefer a bassinet. When shopping look for a bassinet
with a sturdy and wide base. The mattress or mattress pad should fit
well. Also, be sure to check the nuts and bolts every so often to make
sure they are tight.
Do I have to buy a baby safety gear for my newborn?
If you are having a child, you need baby safety gear. All 50 states
have laws regulating the use of baby car seats. In addition, if you
are found negligent in the care of your baby you can be prosecuted by
the state. Try not to think of the expense of baby gear, but think of
the rewards instead.
Are there ways to make my house safe for my baby without even
buying anything?
Before you even go to the store get down on your hands and knees and
explore your house from the point of view of a baby. This will help
you spot dangerous objects. You will suddenly realize that even an ordinary
plant can be a hazard to a curious baby who decides to taste the leaves.
Since a baby can drown is even one into water make sure your infants
will not have access to cleaning buckets, bathtubs, showers, or swimming
pools. Keep all appliances out of a baby's reach. Common sense can go
a long way when you protect your baby and doesn’t cost a penny.
