The safest place to leave your newborn is in your arms or in a safe, supervised environment.
Here are some safe places to leave your newborn:
- In a crib or bassinet: Make sure the crib or bassinet meets safety standards and is placed in a safe location, away from windows, cords, and furniture.
- In a car seat: Always use a car seat that is appropriate for your baby's weight and height.
- In a stroller: Ensure the stroller is sturdy and has a secure harness.
- In a baby carrier: Choose a carrier that is designed for newborns and fits securely.
Never leave your newborn unattended in a place where they could be injured or harmed. This includes:
- On a changing table: Always keep one hand on your baby.
- In a bathtub: Never leave your baby unattended in the bathtub, even for a moment.
- On a bed or couch: Babies can roll and fall, so never leave them unattended on a raised surface.
Remember: Your newborn is completely dependent on you for their safety. Always be vigilant and supervise them closely.
