• Never leave standing water in the tub or sink. It takes very little water to create a drowning hazard.
• NEVER leave your child unattended in the bath. A good rule of thumb is to keep one hand on your child at all times while bathing. If you must leave the room, wrap your child in a towel and take her with you.
• Reduce your hot water heater temperature to 120 degrees. A baby's skin is more sensitive than an adult's. What is warm to us can scald a small infant.
• Install a spout cover to protect from falls.
• Use a non-slip mat or use non-slip stickers in the tub to prevent falls.
• Remove items from around the tub ring (shampoo, conditioner, razors). When bar soap becomes small enough to fit into a toddler's mouth, it becomes a choking hazard.
