Child Safety Tips for New Parents

It is completely normal for new and inexperienced parents to feel anxious about keeping their child safe. With a few simple guidelines and the support system of a good pediatrician, new parents will quickly learn how to keep their child safe and watch them grow to be happy and healthy. 

New Parents: Child Safety Tips

Listed below are just a few general tips to keep in mind to ensure your child’s safety:

·         Make sure that cribs, car seats, and toys are all assembled correctly and are being used according to their proper safety guidelines.
·         Especially with newborns, listen carefully to instructions from doctors and hospitals.
·         Keep cribs completely empty of anything that could create a breathing or choking hazard for the child.
·         Carefully watch small children when they are at play or in a public place, and set up a good communication system for older children so you know where they are and who they are with at all times.
·         Find a good pediatrician whom you can trust.
·         Trust your parental instincts—they are usually right!

Contact AGC Pediatrics to Learn More About Child Safety

A trained, expert pediatrician is the best resource for new parents. While there is so much information available, either from other people, books, or online, we recommend that new parents speak directly with a trained professional whenever they have questions about their child’s health or safety.
