How can I keep my one year old safe?

Accepted Answer

Here are some safety measures you can take to keep your one year old safe:

Create Safe Places

Arrange the furniture in a way that gives your little one some freedom to move around. Don’t leave any small objects where they play, as that can pose a choking hazard. Place plug covers electrical outlets that you 12 month old may be able to reach. Block off stairs with toddler gates and make sure the door to the garage and the basement remain closed at all times.

Keep Out A Watchful Eye

Make sure you know where your 1 year old is and what he’s doing at all times. Keep an ear out for loud noises and you can’t hear him, go and see what he’s up to.

Keep all poisons (like cleaning products, beauty products, medication, and other harmful substances) where your one year old can’t reach them.

Use safety devices like toddler gates, cabinet locks, smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors to help keep your toddler safe.

Baby proof the windows, make sure your child can’t open or reach any of the windows; keep furniture, toys, or any other items that your child might want to play with or use to climb over – away from the windows.

Never leave your toddler alone with any type of water, toddlers can drown in as little as 30 seconds. Make sure all the buckets are empty and turn them upside down when you’re done using them. If your house has a swimming pool, make sure it’s protected by a fence on all sides. Restrict unsupervised access to the bathroom or any type of water.

It helps if your toddler has at least some idea about safety and why it’s important. That way they’ll be more likely to cooperate.

Show them how to do these things, be gentle, patient, and supportive all the way and speak softly when addressing them, that way they’re more likely to listen.

You can also take the help of educational songs and/or illustrated books and other media (like animated movies) to help them understand a certain danger and how to avoid it.

Question 14

What is normal behavior for a one year old?

Accepted Answer

One year olds can be tricky from time to time. Around 12 months of age, babies start to move around and that means trouble— they’re going to require a lot of active supervision now as they start to explore and experiment with the world around them.

Passionate little rabbits that they are, they’re going to be feeling a lot of new emotions, and since at this age they haven’t yet learned better ways of expressing these emotions, they will be expressing them in ways that may seem problematic, concerning, or unusual at times. For instance, they may be constantly putting things in their mouth or throwing things off the table, when frustrated they might show it by crying, kicking, or if there is some place they don’t feel like leaving, they might show that by arching their back so you’re unable to pick them up.

When it comes to social skills, 1 year olds, for the most part, like to limit their interactions to the parent or other primary caregivers. They may play alongside other kids but they prefer not to interact.

Question 16

What clothes do one year olds need?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to choosing clothes for your one year old, go with soft and comfy clothes that provide freedom of movement. Clothes that are too tight or too heavy discourage movement, can inhibit blood circulation and/or irritate their skin. To give you an idea, here are some examples of the kind of clothes you should buy for your one year olds:

Short or long-sleeved bodysuits
Soft, stretchy ants
Jumpers (sweat shirts)
Comfy, spacious shorts
Cotton PJs

As far as the fabric is concerned, try your best to avoid synthetic material. Clothes that are made of cotton or other natural fibres are ideal for one year olds, since their skin is still quite delicate. Your child doesn’t really need shoes at this stage for something other than protection, however, it’s good to have a pair or two around the house. When it comes to shoes, go for soft-soled comfy shoes that are easy on your little one’s feet and avoid anything that’s too tight, inhibit movement, or are uncomfortable to wear.

Question 17

What size clothes does a 12 month old wear?

Accepted Answer

When it comes to figuring out the right clothing size for your one year old, using a toddler clothing chart goes a long way. Using the age range, height and an approximation of weight, you’ll be able to determine the right clothing size for your 1 year old.

Age Range	Height	Weight
6-7 months	27-29 inches (69-74 cm)	18-22 lbs (8-10 kg)
9-12 months	29-30.5 inches (74-77 cm)	22-26 lbs (10-12 kg)
12-18 months	30.5-32 inches (77-81 cm)	26-28 lbs (12-13 kg)

As a rule of thumb, to get the best fit, always order or buy clothes for your 1 year old by weight and height and then go one size up.
