Stopping breathing

Blind cords – it can take only 20 seconds for a toddler to die from strangulation.

• Fit a cleat hook to tie blind cords and chains back

• Keep children’s bedroom furniture away from blind cords and chains.

• Make sure the cords on the back of Roman blinds are connected using a safety device that breaks away under pressure

Nappy sacks – young babies naturally grasp things and put them to their mouths, but don’t have the ability to pull things away. This means they can suffocate on nappy sacks.

• Store nappy sacks safely away and never under the cot mattress.

Food, drink and small toys – Babies can choke on liquids and can’t push a bottle away.

• Cut food up into small pieces for young children, particularly grapes and other round foods, which should be cut length-ways in to quarters.
