Safety 101: Toddler Safety in the Bathroom

+Be sure to check the water temperature of your toddler's bath water prior to placing them in it.

+Never leave your child alone in the bathtub even for just a minute.  Children can drown in less than two inches of water.  If you forgot something, take the toddler out before getting forgotten item.

+Use a toilet lock on your toilet.  Toddlers can get into anything in a flash.  If they get into the toilet, it is not just about being nasty it could be about drowning.  If. they fall into the toilet, they do not have the upper body stregnth to pull themselves out

+Place locks on cabinets in the bathroom that contains cleaning supplies, perfumes or other hygiene items that your toddler should not be getting into.
