Security

Choose a good location for the changing table, for example in the corner of a room.
The changing mat should be raised at the side.
Never leave your child alone on the changing table.
Not even for a moment.
If your child is particularly lively, change him or her on the floor.

Make sure you have everything to hand when bathing.
Heat the bath water to a maximum of 37 °C.
Use a bath thermometer in addition to the elbow test.

Only use wet wipes and bath additives from the 6th week of life, if at all. 

Keep electrical appliances [4] at a safe distance from the bath water.
These include hair dryers, radios, fan heaters and cell phones.
Make sure that these devices are unplugged.

Adjust it to the child’s development.

Falls are one of the most common causes of accidents!
Never leave your child unattended and unsecured, for example on a sofa, bed or changing table.
Watch out for fall hazards, such as stairs, high chairs or other furniture.

Children are quickly overwhelmed by supervising younger children.
Don’t expect too much of them.
