Find out what to leave out of the nursery and how to childproof the room.

When you start decorating the babys room, keep these ideas in mind!

Place the crib or bassinet away from windows, heaters, and lamps.

• Make sure radiators are enclosed.

• Avoid drapes and miniblinds that have cords or purchase and use cord minders. Buy window guards for when baby starts to crawl.

• Make sure baby’s dresser is wide and deep, rather than tall and tipsy.

• Put safety caps in all electrical outlets and put furniture in front of (or otherwise cover) electrical outlets that have cords constantly plugged in.
