* Children begin to turn away from very small, some sooner than others, so that from the month of life will not ever let alone in a bed or on any surface because it can roll and fall.

* Put the crib shields and notice that the child’s head in any fit between the bars. Try not very warm at night and that despite some bedding so your child can move freely in the crib. Do not sleep with you as you sleep, you may unknowingly crush and suffocate.

* If your home has stairs, once your child starts to crawl should put security gate to prevent access (there are removable). You must also install window guards that can be opened by an adult in case of fire, and increase the height of the railings of balconies and terraces, because his son has no awareness of danger and may be precipitated from above.

Never leave pots or furniture near the railing of the balcony or by the windows because they can upload them to lean and fall. Never leave your child in a room with the window open if it has no bars, children are very curious and very dangerous, even though his son so far has not been naughty.

* Do not buy a walker for your child could fall forward and in any case, does not benefit because it comfortable and take longer to walk alone. Much better is that when you see that standing alone makes gripping the bars of the crib or leaning on a chair, give your hands and help him walk, first with both hands, then with a single and then let run at large.

* At that moment your child opens a new world of independence … and danger. I have to watch in particular, observe your risk level as there are and delete them.

* Put padded corners on the corners of tables and other furniture so it does not hit, watch out for glassware, porcelain, ceramics, etc …, put them up.

* If you have at home an animal (pet), do not ever leave your child alone with very tame he is, because even without wishing it could harm.

* Do not leave cables, ropes or tapes at your child as they could be hanged for the same reason you should never put strings or ribbons around the neck and no tapes or headbands for girls.

* Do not lose sight of when in the “throne” or stroller because it may fall and hit in the head, remember that at this stage your child should always be secure. Eliminate, in short, all the things you can do damage and not lose sight. After the removal of hazards and observe while in case, let him explore, to go slowly giving autonomy but without ever sacrificing security.
