Here are some points to note on safety of babies before you
buy your child's clothing : * Ensure that small items attached
to clothing are not easily detached or removed * Small items
such as buttons, zipper pull, snaps or any decorative sequines
should not be easily detach from your child clothing as this
poses a choking hazard to young babies.
* Avoid hazardous items such as drawstrings * Children's jackets
and swetashirts with drawstrings around the hood or neck of
children's outerwear presents a strangulation hazard. Children
can get entangled and strangle in the drawstrings that cacth on
objects, including playground equipment, fences and tree
branches.
* Avoid Flammable Loose-Fitting Garments * The U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission (CPSC) warns persons not to put
children to sleep in loose-fitting T-shirts or other over-size
clothes made from cotton or cotton blends.
These garments can
catch fire easily and are associated with 200 to 300 emergency
room-treated burn injuries to babies annually. Loose-fitting
clothing stands away from the body, making contact with an
ignition source more likely. Loose-fitting, non-flame-resistant
child clothing allows an air sapce next to the body that helps
keep the fire burning, possibly injuring babies.
It is sfaer to put your babies in flame-resistant or
snug-fitting sleepwear. Flame-resistant garments do not continue
burning when rmeoved from a small open flame. Snug-fitting
garments need not be flame-resistant cause they are made to
fit closely aaginst a child's body. Their stretchy fabrics make
them comfortable. Snug-fitting sleepwear does not ignite easily
and, even if ignited, does not burn as rapidly cause there is
little air under the garment to feed a fire.
* Check for sharp objects in your cihld clothing * A decorative
items such as pin may get detach causing a puncture wound on
your child body.
