Toddler Safety
“Bottles, pacifiers, and sippy cups are not always as safe as parents believe.” A source of comfort for babies and toddlers may send thousands of them to the emergency room every year.
A common scenario was for children to fall while using one of these items and end up cutting their mouth. The researchers suggest that parents may want to:
- Keep the risk of injury in mind when deciding when it’s time to transition their kids away from pacifiers and bottles, and
- Try to keep small children seated while they’re drinking.
