You may have plugged up the electrical sockets, affixed safety gates and also taken note of the most common choking risks to your baby, but there are many other hazards lurking in your home that you need to be aware of. Let’s face it, babies and toddlers are curious little creatures with no risk assessment sills!

When I researched the hazards for this gallery, I was surprised by some of the unsuspecting ones that I found. Even if you are aware of most of them, have a flick through just in case you are also surprised and need to take note.

Check your windows for any dangly blind cords. These are a strangling risk to little ones. You can make them safe by wrapping them up on a cord hook (just buy these from any hardware store), trim them and also never place your baby's cot near a window.
