Children are blessing to every parent. But with this blessing comes great responsibility – the children’s safety. And keeping them safe can be very challenging and tasking especially for first time parents.

To help ease these challenges for new parents, we will be looking at 3 home safety ideas every new parent should consider to help keep their kids out of danger at home.
Medicines, poisons and chemicals
As a parent with kids in the house, you cannot afford to be dropping medicine, poisons and chemicals anyhow in the house because of the danger they pose to kids if they lay their hands on it. So, be at alert! You must know which products in your home are poisonous or dangerous.

Attractively packaged products that look harmless and are used in and around the home can be dangerous when swallowed by a child. Often such products are not labeled as poisonous and contain only the word “Caution” as warning. Remember, small children cannot read warnings.

Poisoning does not always occur from the conventional chemicals like bleach and washing liquid etc., but from more common household items. Nail polish remover, deodorant, make-up, vitamins, essential oils, bubble bath and alcohol are all potentially harmful to your child.
