1 Quick Tip

Always supervise meal and playtime. Learn the infant Heimlich maneuver: Lay the baby face down on your forearm, support their head, and give 5 firm back blows between the shoulder blades

1 Creative Activity

Create a "safe exploration" box filled with large, non-toxic items that encourage sensory play without the risk. Start with a durable, sizable box that's easily accessible to your child, avoiding any tipping hazards. Fill it with a variety of textures and objects to engage their senses: include large squares of textured fabrics like velvet, silk, corduroy, and fleece for tactile exploration; soft, spongy balls in various sizes that are easy to squeeze but too large to be a choking hazard; smooth, unpainted wooden blocks in different shapes to introduce natural textures; silicone baking mats with raised patterns for a unique touch experience; oversized plastic links or beads that snap together to develop fine motor skills, ensuring they're too large to pose any swallowing risks; and soft, large brushes such as paintbrushes or makeup brushes for a gentle sensory experience. This box offers a controlled environment where children can explore a variety of sensory inputs safely, promoting cognitive and motor skill development without the risks associated with small, ingestible items.
