Poisons in the Home: Keeping Your Child Safe
As your baby begins to explore, safeguarding your home from common poisons becomes crucial. Here are some essential tips to ensure your child’s safety:
Declutter Hazardous Items
Discard Unused Products
If you have an old box of lye or similar hazardous items you no longer use, dispose of them immediately. Keeping only essential products reduces the number of items that need secure storage.
Secure All Hazardous Materials
Lock Cabinets
Place all cleaning supplies in locked cabinets. Don’t rely on high shelves alone, as babies can quickly learn to climb.
Avoid Misleading Containers
Proper Storage
Never store poisons in old food containers. Babies recognize items like juice bottles, so using these for hazardous products can be dangerous.
Dispose of Empty Containers Properly
Safe Disposal
Immediately rinse and move empty containers, such as bleach bottles, to an outdoor trash bin rather than the kitchen trash.
Inspect Your Houseplants
Remove or Relocate Toxic Plants
Many houseplants, such as philodendron, English ivy, holly, mistletoe, and hyacinths, are poisonous. Remove them or place them well out of reach.
Rethink Everyday Items
Hidden Dangers
Items you might not consider, like cosmetics, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and mothballs, can be toxic. Keep them secured. Developing a habit of reading labels will help you monitor new items in your home.
Make Safe Choices
If you’re new to parenting, managing potential poisons can seem overwhelming. Here are some additional strategies:
- Plan Ahead: Sort and store items safely before your baby arrives.
- Choose Safer Alternatives: Opt for non-chlorine bleach and products with child-proof caps. Consider natural substitutes like olive oil for polishing furniture and vinegar for cleaning floors.
- Emergency Preparedness: Keep your local poison control number posted by the phone. Having this readily available could save your child’s life.
By taking proactive measures, you can ensure a safer environment for your little one.
