Going to a baby shower anytime soon?

Buying cute frilly dresses or cute little onesies is a blast. But why not do your friend a bigger favor and slip into the gift bag some simple safety tips.

The Consumer Product Safety Commission has a load of web publications you can print off your computer and add to the gift bag for free. Ideas on watching your child in the bath and childproofing your home are there, as is advice about babysitters.

If your friend is anything like me, they don’t have the time or attention span to read a huge book of advice. These quick tips will help them keep safety on their mind, without going overboard and freaking out.
