Baby Safety Answers!

 

Q: "I recently fell while carrying my baby. Can you give me some safety tips to help me avoid it happening again?"

A: Check that the outside stairs leading to your home is well lit, free of shadows so you can see each step.

• Begin outside your home and work your way inside – even before you bring your baby home.
• Repair uneven pavement and walkways leading to your home that could cause you to trip and fall, especially at night.
• Always hold on to a handrail when climbing or descending the stairs, suggests Stacey Leeds, an injury prevention specialist.
• Replace worn treads and inside carpeting on stairs.
• Be sure that the baby is not blocking your view ahead.
