Answer 1

0months-2years

Answer 2

Children under the age of 3 have the highest choking hazard. Don't feed them peanuts, pop corn, hot dogs (unless they are cut up small). Do not feed children under the age of 2 peanut butter.

As far as toys. Don't get them anything with small parts on it. Make sure any toys you get them are age appropriate.

When giving a child a bath, the 2 most important things to remember are, always check the temp. of the water before you put them in and make sure it won't burn them. Th e second thing is to never leave them alone in the bathroom. They can drown in a tub in seconds.

As far as recalls, our local newspaper publishes lists of all recent recalls once a week.

Answer 3

To prevent choking , make sure food are age appropriate, supervise during feedings, teach children proper eating behaviors.

Safety, childproof the whole house, keep clutter off the floor, childproof any reachable surfaces,

Here is a good website for recalls

For giving infant or small child bath, make sure water in not too warm, check by wrist of your arm. Supervise the whole time, don't walk away even for a second.

Outlet covers should be in any unused outlets.

Answer 4

Children choke at all ages. Adults choke. Teens that stuff their mouths like animals choke. You have to have an eye on babies all the time. No other way around it.

When buying toys - nothing with small parts that break off and can cause choking! Nothing that has long chords that might become a noose. Nothing with wheels that might send them flying down the stairs. Nothing with batteries that can be easily removed.

This is starting to sound like I'm taking your babysitting quiz for you... I'm going to stop now.

Answer 5

Buy a simple home safety kit. They come with outlet covers, a tube that; if you can fit the toy through it is a choking hazard, no knick knacks, hot coffee, cords, baby's pull at a table cloth and every thing comes down on them . Get down to your baby's height and look for things he/she can get hurt by. Never turn for a second when your baby is in the tub. A baby can drown in 1/4 of an inch of water. log on to safety tips for baby

Answer 6

the first 5 years of life is the most vunerable for choking accidents as they are just getting all their teeth in during the first 2-3yrs and even though 5 with their more permeant teeth, foods to avoid are large pieces of meat make sure most meat is cut in pieces easy enough for them to chew. one of the worst foods to give young children is hotdogs and any meat with bones in and make sure fruit and vegetables are bitesize for them.
