Besides covering outlets, what else can I do to keep my baby safe from electrical dangers?

In addition to keep all electrical outlets covered and cords unplugged, keep your child away from any hot zones in your house. Look around your house and locate the places that can be the most danger to your child. Where you store your computer, either keep it in a closed desk or a room that your child knows not to go into. Close the door or put up a gate to keep them out. Use gate in the kitchen area or bathrooms and keep appliances that must be plugged in up high out of the reach of your children. Let them know that these things are not toys and they cannot play with them. Be firm on this, when it comes to safety, never let your child get their way.
