What's the most accurate way to take a baby's temperature?
A non-contact infrared thermometer gives fast, accurate readings without disturbing a sleeping or unsettled baby, making it a popular choice for parents alongside a traditional bath/room thermometer for everyday use.
When should I install safety gates?
Most parents install safety gates once their baby starts crawling, usually somewhere between 6–10 months, particularly at the top and bottom of stairs and any rooms with hazards.
Can a heat pack be used as a cold pack too?
Yes — many heat packs, including plush designs like the koala, can be frozen for use as a cold pack as well as microwaved for warmth, making them a versatile addition to a first aid kit for both bumps and teething discomfort.
What home safety items are most commonly overlooked?
Finger safe guards on doors and cupboard/appliance locks are often overlooked compared to stair gates, but pinched fingers and access to cupboards are among the most common minor injuries and hazards once babies become mobile.
