PLAYARD BASSINET SAFETY?
Dec 2nd
Question by Mel:
Playard bassinet safety?
We just picked up a chicco lullaby lx playard
https://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2983691&fromRegistryNumber=98255740&product_skn=595891
and we realized after we set it up that you can’t have the mobile in EVER if you put sheets on the bassinet mattress.
My husband loves the mobile and read some things about how important it is to visually stimulate newborns and really wants to leave it in.
The mattress is washable and I plan to take at least one of the sheets we bought and cut/sew holes for the mobile snaps but it will be a huge pain to get on/off, especially if there is a blow out diaper in the middle of the night.
My question: Do you think it is safe to put down a thin lap pad or receiving blanket UNDER the baby while she sleeps to try to keep the mattress/sheet clean, or if that a SIDS hazard? She will either be in a swaddler or a sleep sack and we have a fan to circulate air in the room, and it doesn’t seem dangerous but maybe if she squirms it would bunch up under her?

DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE TO FIND A NICE LOOKING, AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, CHILD SAFETY FIRE GUARD?
Nov 10th
Question by Mr Rossi:
Does anyone know where to find a nice looking, aesthetically pleasing, child safety fire guard?
We have a really nice open cast iron fireplace but our little one is just starting to crawl and will soon be walking too, so we need to stop her crawling into the fire… there are loads of baby/child fire guards on sale in the UK but MAN are they all ugly! They are just cages – it makes your home look like a prison. The ideal one we’ve seen is from Mothercare that has a curve to it, but the actual bars are still cage-like.
Whereas with the normal (non child safety) fire guards / spark cages, there are hundreds of really attractive looking ones, with nice meshes, wiggly-bars, stained glass screens etc. But these do not attach to the wall – the baby would just pull them over on top of her…
Are there any baby safe fire guards out there that look like normal ‘pretty’ fire guards?
Thanks
Ross

CAN YOU CUT YOUR CATS NAILS WITH INFANT SAFETY SCISSORS?
Nov 10th
Question by deerdancepark:
Can you cut your cats nails with infant safety scissors?
I have an unopened package of infant safety scissors (that I do not intend on using for both baby and cats). They need their nails trimmed, and I cant afford to go buy ones specialized for animals right now. Will these work for them in a safe, comfortable way? I hope this doesn’t sound ridiculous! Thanks.

NEWBORN SAFETY: BASSINETS, ANYONE USED THEM?
Nov 10th
Question by Tiffany:
Newborn safety: Bassinets, anyone used them?
So we already bought this fancy crib that rocks and then within 24 hours of having it we found on the web that infants have died in it and it causes suffocation and some were crushed by it.. So i found these bassinets on the web and i cant see anything that would go wrong with them except the strings for handles look unsafe but as for the baby sleeping next to me on the floor, is there a lot of newborn deaths from these kind?

CO-SLEEPING WITH A NEWBORN (ALMOST 6 WEEKS OLD). SAFETY?
Oct 29th
Question by ஐ♥ 3Kids 2hearts 1dream ♥ஐ:
Co-Sleeping with a newborn (almost 6 weeks old). Safety?
I’m a mother of 3. Did not sleep with our first 2, and have recently started with our 3rd (and last). I know not to have any pillows or blankets around the baby. But I am still freaking out about the SIDS factor. To the point of not being able to sleep more than an hour or 2 a night!
Does anyone know of any other safety measure to take?
We have a king size memory foam top matress, cotton sheets, and are using the “baby wedge” to make sure she doesn’t move to a bad position. It still freaks me out big time though. With the memory foam matress, I am scared everything will “sink”, and she’ll smother! It’s almost impossible to go to sleep while trying to stay awake to make sure she stays still, and listening for her breathing! lol
I have seen on the web a “baby bed” type thing, that sits on your bed, and is supposed to keep them safe. Has anyone used one of them, or know anything about them. I am exclusively breastfeeding (finally), so she’s waking every 2-3 hours anyways, and it’s most convenient to have her in bed. (hubby works a crazy schedule days/nights, and we have 2 other children to keep asleep!)
Anyone have any advice, or product ideas that make it less scary?
Thanks for the answers guys! I suppose I need to start checking further into baby bed options. We were putting her in the bassinet next to the bed, but she’s out growing that already, so now I am kinda lost lol. I will check more into the baby beds though, that might be the answer.

AT WHAT AGE DO BABIES-TODDLERS NO LONGER NEED A CRIB FOR SAFETY REASONS?
Oct 29th
Question by lyong222:
at what age do babies-toddlers no longer need a crib for safety reasons?
I’m told very young kids start to walk anywhere from 8 months to a year. At what age are cribs no longer needed?
how old is your child?
escaping the crib could be dangerous, since if the sides are raised this is 4 feet on the ground, they could fall and break their neck.

CAN CHILDREN BECOME PROACTIVE IN THEIR OWN SAFETY?
Oct 11th
Question by I_am_pure_energy:
Can Kids Become Proactive in their own Safety?
I’m always looking for ways to make my children’s life safer, but with more than half the products I have in my home that says, “Keep out of reach of Kids it’s hard to keep them safe. I have all the safety gadgets but they get into everything. I was reading a parent magazine and read a write-up called “Mr. No-No Saves Children’s Lives”. Read your kids the book then put stickers of Mr. No-No on things you do not want your kids to touch. It says they did a case study on infants to preteens and they documented a one-year-old baby would not touch anything Mr. No-No was on including his stuffed bear. So I went on line, I noticed there are a couple other safety characters, but they are stupid. Looks like allot of time and effort went into Mr. No-No. Some characters were just outright pathetic. Would it be easier for kids to learn to stay away from Mr. No-No or just try to keep teaching them all places & things not to touch? Check it out www.mrnono.com let me know what you think.
