Every parent/carer wants their child to lead an active, healthy lifestyle. Children need to experiment, play and take risks. But there’s a balance, and there are lots of things you can do to keep your child safe:
Every year, thousands of children under five are admitted to hospital due to accidents—many of which are preventable.

The Lullaby Trust provide advice on how to swaddle a baby and how to use baby slings an carriers safely.
