Bath Safety Month in January: Tips for Keeping Kids Safe in the Bathroom

January is designated as Bath Safety Month, making it the perfect time to focus on ensuring that your bathroom is safe for children. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

Water temperature: Make sure that the water temperature is no higher than 120°F to avoid scalding. Test the water with your elbow or a thermometer before allowing children to get into the bath.

Anti-slip mats: Place anti-slip mats or stickers in the bathtub to reduce the risk of slipping and falling.

Child-proof locks: Install child-proof locks on bathroom cabinets and drawers to prevent children from accessing potentially harmful products.

Keep cleaning products out of reach: Store cleaning products, such as bleach and other toxic substances, out of reach of children.

No electronics: Avoid using electronics such as phones or tablets in the bathroom, as they can be a distraction and increase the risk of accidents.

Supervision: Always supervise children when they are in the bathroom, especially when they are taking a bath.

Teach water safety: Teach children about the dangers of water and how to stay safe around it.

By following these tips, you can help keep your children safe in the bathroom. Remember to always prioritize their safety and well-being, and to make any necessary changes to your bathroom to ensure it is safe for them.
