• Never place furniture or chairs near windows.
• Not for 5 seconds, let's leave the baby unattended on changing tables, tables, high beds or any high place.
• Let's secure the child well when he is in his feeding chair.
• Do not use walkers.
• Avoid, if possible, children climbing trees.
• When the child already knows how to walk, it is advisable to use anti-slip mats in bathrooms. Careful! Let's not leave the child unattended during bath time.
• It is key to secure cabinets and shop windows to the wall, so that if the child tries to climb them, they do not roll over.

3. Electrocution

• Cover all outlets that are within sight and height of children with safety features.
• Don't let them play with electrical items.
• Do not leave cables from cell phones or electronic devices loose or in poor condition.
