A phone call actually caused the baby to drown! 6 things you must know about bathroom safety

I saw an old post yesterday. While the mother was bathing her baby, she went out to answer a phone call and came back to find her 1-year-old child drowned in the bathtub! Sad… What a pity. Although it has been three years since this incident happened, bathroom safety accidents still happen frequently. A new baby has been added to the family. The environment that we adults usually see as no problem is full of dangers for them. Parents should pay careful attention to the following 6 points. Once danger occurs, the consequences will be unbearable. It was the bathtub that caused the above tragedy because the container did not store water. During the normal process of bathing the baby, parents must not leave even half a step away. No one can predict what will happen when you turn around. Containers that can store water, such as buckets in the bathroom, wash basins, bathtubs, basins, etc. Remember to pour it out after use, when to use water, and when to put it back. Be sure not to store water at ordinary times to prevent the risk of drowning and choking. When the toilet is not in use, stick it with a refrigerator magnet to prevent the baby from falling in when it is opened and played nearby. Lay down a non-slip mat to keep the bathroom dry at all times, and be prepared to get wet but not slippery. Choose non-slip materials for bathroom floors. A layer of non-slip mat can be laid on the \”floor\” such as the bottom of the bathtub, the bottom of the bathtub, and the children\’s bathtub. After taking a shower, rinse the anti-slip mat you used to remove the \”slippery\” material. Put away bottles, jars, daily toiletries, cosmetics, razors and other items, and toothbrushes can be hung on the wall out of the baby\’s reach. There is a risk of accidental ingestion of toiletries and cosmetics. Children will imitate the behavior of adults. Cosmetics and razors are very dangerous. Cover the surface of the socket. Due to the daily humidity in the bathroom, you need to be more vigilant about circuit problems. Perform regular maintenance to detect problems such as circuit aging in time. When not in use, cover the surface of the socket with a safety plug to prevent electric shock and other problems. Preventing the Door from Locking Sometimes you will find that the bathroom door is closed as soon as you step out of the bathroom, and sometimes it is automatically locked. The bathroom door can be opened from the outside, or at least the lock can be opened from the outside with a key. If it is a latch type door lock, it is recommended to install it in a high place out of reach of the baby. Wrapping Sharp Corners The same needs and attention should be paid to the corners of the bathroom, the edges and corners of the dressing table, the door handles of the toilet and bathroom, the sides of the bathtub, etc. You can wrap sharp surfaces with childproof corners in advance. In addition, it is recommended that children use a children\’s bathtub for bathing, which can also reduce the risk of collision. It is the safest state for the baby to be in the caregiver\’s sight at all times, but it is unrealistic for the guardian to keep an eye on the baby 24 hours a day during the process of raising the baby. Checking for safety hazards to prevent babies from being harmed by invisible things can also reduce the anxiety of parents and make them feel more at ease.
