Hospitals’ emergency departments see countless cases of babies tumbling out of sarongs onto hard marble floors and sustaining serious head injuries. Once your toddler moves to her big-kid bed, install bed rails to prevent falls.Īlso, it is important that you don’t put your little one in a sarong cradle – this is a terribly unsafe practice that needs to be discontinued, explains Dr Natalie Epton, a specialist paediatrician and neonatologist from SBCC Baby & Child Clinic at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre.
If you must walk away for a while, always leave her in the cot or playpen instead. Never leave your young child unattended on an adult bed or other high surface, even if you think she is asleep. While monitoring your baby, avoid giving her medication that may cause drowsiness. What you want to rule out are skull fractures and brain injuries that can be serious.
