�Use infant head protection helmets
Watch for wet areas on floors.

Keep young kids away from dangerous things to climb.
Don�t sit or leave your baby up on countertops.
Avoid using infant walkers with wheels.
Remove tripping hazards.
Be cautious at playgrounds that don�t have softer surfaces.
There�s no doubt about it � when your baby takes a tumble, their tears can equal fears and tears of your own. It�s normal to worry, but rest assured that most minor bumps to the head don�t cause a serious brain injury or require emergency medical attention.
However, there are rare instances where a more serious traumatic brain injury can result. In this case, know the symptoms to watch for and always call your child�s pediatrician or seek emergency medical care
if you feel it�s necessary.
