What to do when your baby falls or gets injured?

When a baby falls or is hit by something, first make sure that the baby is okay. If the baby isn't injured, then you can comfort the baby. If the baby doesn't stop crying and seems to be in pain, call or see a doctor.

Check their temperature with a baby thermometer for signs of a fever. Monitor for worrying symptoms such as vomiting, excessive bruising, breathing difficulties, loss or appetite or consciousness, etc. Always consult a professional in this case.

What should I look for when buying baby safety products?

When choosing baby safety products, it is important to consider the specific needs of your baby, home, and lifestyle. It is also essential to select products that are easy to use and install. Finally, choose products that adhere to Australian safety standards. You may ask your friends, family, and paediatrician for recommendations.

Read the instructions carefully when installing safety products. Always follow all directions and only use the items for their intended purposes. Avoid creating and using makeshift products that won't function fully or last a long time.
