La Rue, Charles, Ed.
This booklet, written in English, Hmong, Laotian, Vietnamese, Russian, Spanish, Bosnian, Arabic, Somali, and Nuer (this translation is published in the form of a Tape and Book Set) provides culturally appropriate educational information and photographs on baby and child safety, addressing: safe feeding; (always hold the baby when bottle-feeding so it does not spit up and choke); always staying with the baby when it is on a high place; always putting the sides of the crib up; never feeding a young baby hard foods that can cause choking; never leaving a baby alone in a walker; putting safety catches on drawers and cupboards containing dangerous things; keeping small things out of the baby's reach; keeping matches, lighters, and ashtrays out of the baby's reach; keeping cleaning products and medicines in high places; keeping knives and sharp objects out of children's reach; putting plastic caps on electrical outlets; never putting hot food or drinks close to the baby; turning the hot water heater temperature to 120 degrees; watching children carefully around water; never leaving small children alone in the bathroom; finding safe places for children to play; always having children wear safety equipment for sports; and always using a safe infant seat when driving.
