Like My Prices – Baby Safety Information

Cooking for the holidays is a fun thing.  Christmas cookies and candies are first on the list for many family cooks.  While you are cooking or baking, please keep in the the baby safety issues of the kitchen.  Here are just a few.

• Always stay in the kitchen while the stove is on.
• Try to use the back burners as much as possible.
• Point handles inward.
• Keep the stove, toaster, etc., clean.
• Keep things away from the stove that are easily flammible, such as:  towels, curtains, potholders.
• Keep pets and children away from the cooking area.  Some people place tape on the floor to let the child know how far they can come.

Most home fires start in the kitchen, usually from placing an item on the stove and forgetting it.  I am sure you can think of this and many more safety tips.  These are only a few.

If you do catch fire from wearing loose fitting clothing, drop to the floor immediately and rock back and forth over the burning area until the fire is out.

Happy Holidays!
