Safety first, clean clothes never. Here's how to baby proof your life.

by Mamamia Team October 5, 2015

When you walk out of the hospital after giving birth, one thought is likely to hit you: “I can’t believe they’re trusting me with this baby.”

But jokes aside, this is serious stuff. Every year, 280 Australian children die as a result of injury. For every child who dies from an injury, 5000 need medical attention.

Get in early, before your baby arrives, and make your home and car as safe as possible. Here’s a handy guide.

1. The whole house.
