Baby-proofing your home is one of the most important things you can do for your newborn. Here are some tips to get you started.

1) Be sure the crib mattress fits snugly. You should be able to slide just one finger between the mattress and the side rails and headboard, so your child can't slip between the mattress and crib.
2) Nightlights should be at least three feet away from the crib, bedding, and draperies to prevent fire.
3) Never put pillows, soft bedding, electric blankets, heating pads, or stuffed animals in a crib.
