While keeping children safe is a year-round priority for parents, the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association has aptly designated the ninth month of the year as National Baby Safety Month.

COVID-19 has changed our routines, increased stress and made everyday tasks harder including for parents of young children. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) said Baby Safety Month is a good time to make some safety checks around your home. Many parents are working from home, and at the same time they’re taking care of a young baby at home. Babies should also sleep on their backs to prevent suffocation and reduce risk of the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS. Davis also recommends no longer using inclined sleepers.
