8 principles of child safety from Dr. Roshal Sins and cones - this is an integral part of childhood, and in another simply can not be. But from an easy bruise to a dangerous fracture - one step, and so that the child does not commit it, parents need to comply with simple rules.

The main principles of child safety from the famous pediatrician, which will help protect the baby from many troubles.

Safety in a dream A child must sleep on the back. With the change in the official recommendation from "laying on the stomach" to "laying on the back" in Western Europe, the death rate from sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) has declined 3 times since 1992.

Quilted blankets with lace can block the baby's airways during sleep. A hard mattress with a tightly stretched sheet on an elastic band is all that's needed.

Between the rods of the crib should be placed a can of Coca-Cola. This distance is optimal so that the child does not get stuck between the slats.

A sleeping child should be freed from scarves, clothes or caps on strings, bibs, nipples or toys on laces.

Preventing falls and injuries Always fasten your toddlers when using high chairs or carrying them. Putting the child in a carry, place it on the floor, and not a chair, table or any other furniture.

If the child moves around the house on walkers, install this device away from stairs, heating appliances, hanging wires or window cords.

Put on the windows specialized grilles. They must be equipped with emergency release devices in case of fire.

Ensure reliable fixation of furniture (especially high cabinets), equipment and any other items that can tip over and fall.

Preventing suffocation Make sure that children's toys do not contain small parts that the child can tear off and try to swallow.

The diet of children under 5 years old should not contain round-shaped products of dense consistency, such as chopped sausages, nut kernels, caramels, grape, corn kernels.

Keep wires and cords out of your child's reach. Move the crib, playpen, toys and children's furniture away from these items.

Periodically, on all fours, stroll around the floor - so you will quickly notice things that the child can send to the mouth.

Take courses of indirect massage and artificial ventilation to carry the child, if necessary, cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Fire Safety Hide from children matches and lighters. Do not keep houses lighters and other sources of fire, similar to toys.

Do not hold the baby in your arms while cooking on the stove. Watch for iron, ployka, hair dryer and after use, unplug them and put them in a safe place.

Cook on the distant burners, and cooked hot food, keep where the child does not reach. Long handles of buckets and stokers standing on the stove or on the table, turn away from the edge.

Eliminate the child's stay near the hot plate and, if possible, install a protective barrier on the stove.

Install a fire alarm at home - it helps to reduce the risk of death in an emergency situation by half.

Prevention of Poisoning If you suspect that your child has swallowed some dangerous substance, do not try to induce vomiting or give the baby "swallowed" a swallowed person without first consulting a doctor.

More than half of all childhood intoxications are triggered by accidental medication. Keep all medications (even vitamins) out of the reach of the child. Do not call the medicine candy, because it is so possible to provoke a child's interest in them.

On the doors of lockers in which household chemicals and medicines are stored, install special locks.

Keep small electronics and gadgets containing lithium batteries away from children. These alarms, alarm clocks, remote controls, "flameless candles", laser pointers, flashlights and similar items.

Enter the number of the nearest polyclinic or doctor in your mobile phone in order to get advice in case of poisoning or other dangerous situations.

At the water When bathing the house after all the procedures you need to immediately drain the tub. Cover the toilet, doors to the toilet, bathrooms and laundries should be kept closed.

Open water (even in a conventional barrel or bucket) on the backyard should be absent or protected, because the child can fall into it and choke.

More than half of the parents are convinced that if the child has learned to swim, he does not need supervision when he is near the water. In fact, 47% of drowning children between the ages of 10 and 17 had swimming skills.

Tragedies near water, as a rule, occur silently and for no more than 1 minute. Therefore, when watching a child, do not be distracted by reading books, talking on the phone and other things.

In a car In a car, a child can sit in an adult chair only if his height exceeds 140 cm and the weight is not less than 32 kg. If the baby is too big for a portable child seat, but has not yet grown to an adult, you need to use a booster (car seat without back).

Children's car seats for children under 2 years should be set against the movement of the car. Before you start the car, try to "buckle" the belt, and if the fold is formed - tighten it more tightly. The car seat itself should not be moved more than 2-3 cm.

If the child is using an adult seat, he must wear seat belts. The upper part of the belt should pass over the chest and shoulder of the child, and not cross his neck, and the lower part should lie on the hips, and not cross his stomach.

Keep hot food, massive gifts and anything that can begin to move around the cabin when braking, away from the child.

Riding a bicycle If you bought a bicycle, roller or scooter for a child, be sure to get a helmet, as this subject is the only effective means of protection against traumatic brain injury.

The clothes of the child during riding should be bright, preferably with reflective elements. The bicycle must be equipped with a front and rear light source.

Before leaving, check the reliability of securing the headlights, the operation of the brakes, the gear selector and the condition of the wheels.

When riding a bicycle, teach the child to make eye contact and hand signals to both drivers and pedestrians in order to be predictable for other road users.
