Safety

Even at this age, babies are completely dependent on the parents. Over time, they learn to respond when smiled at, make sounds and identify the voices of parents and other family members. For this reason, you should smile, talk, sing and maintain eye contact as much as possible with your baby. To accomplish this, there are quite a few fun activities and games that can be incorporated into the daily routine with your baby but it is important to maintain a safe environment when spending time with the baby, both during playtime, when traveling in a stroller or carrier, and when feeding.

Babies at this age are soft and vulnerable. Shaking the body, even during play, is dangerous and may cause irreversible harm. A fall, from any height, may fatally injure babies. For this reason, they must never be left alone on the diapering table, or on any other surface, even for a second.

Any equipment, object or game you buy for your baby - pacifiers, rattles, teething rings, mobiles or a picture book for the stroller - must also be safe and secure to use. Choose products that are standard-compliant and use them according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
