If you have a child on the road, you have a million things on your mind. If this is your first child, you may be feeling overwhelmed by the growing list of things to prepare for your big birthday.
You know, when that day comes, all eyes will be on the baby. So, you might be wondering if child protection is needed in my home?
Every year, 3.5 million children are admitted to the emergency department with domestic injuries. 1 We know you’ll keep a close eye on your child, but there may be hidden dangers and toxins in your home that you didn’t even know existed. So let’s take a look at some eco-friendly ways to protect your home.
It’s easy to put off big projects when only adults or older children are in the house. You’ve learned to ignore cracked glass doors and broken window seals.
Now that you have a baby on the road, you need to make sure your home is as safe and comfortable as possible. Here are some things you need to check.
You don’t have to lock every kitchen cabinet. After all, isn’t making a drum kit out of pots and pans and wooden spoons a childish rite of passage?

Besides the nursery and bedroom, this is probably where your child spends the most time. Make your living room a safe space for your child by following these steps:
There are many baby protection products on the market, but many of them are made from unstable foam or plastic that will most likely be thrown away once your baby is a baby.
To avoid unnecessary use and plastic waste, try making your own baby safety gear from what you already have at home. Here are some ideas:
Switching to non-toxic household items is not only an eco-friendly option, but also safer for your child and the well-being of your family.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of children end up in hospitals due to injuries caused by household cleaning products. 2 You can also make a safe cleaning mix using chlorine-free bleach, vinegar, and baking soda.
