September is Baby Safety Month—a dedicated time to help families create safer homes for babies and toddlers. At Geddy’s Mom, we’re passionate about empowering parents with the latest safety knowledge and innovative, doctor-developed products. This year, we’re excited to highlight the newly released “Baby Safety 101” guide from the Baby Safety Foundation—a must-read for every family.
Why Baby Safety Month Matters
Every year, thousands of children experience preventable injuries at home, many involving electrical outlets, USB chargers, and cords. Baby Safety Month is the perfect opportunity to review your home’s safety and make simple but effective changes.
The New “Baby Safety 101” Guide: What Parents Need to Know
The Baby Safety Foundation’s “Baby Safety 101” is a research-based resource, developed by leading physicians and child safety experts—not parents. It’s been thoughtfully simplified so you can read and apply the most essential safety information in under an hour. The guide covers everything from electrical safety to safe sleep and emergency preparedness, offering practical, step-by-step advice for every room in your home.
Key topics include:
- Electrical outlet and USB charger safety
- Safe sleep recommendations for infants

5 Essential Baby Safety Tips for Modern Homes
As a company founded by a dentist and a neurologist—and inspired by our own family’s near-miss with a USB charger—we know how quickly accidents can happen. Here are 5 expert tips to help you protect your little ones this September:
1. Upgrade to Self-Closing Outlet Covers
Traditional plastic plugs can be choking hazards and are often forgotten. Our Shut Your Face outlet covers automatically close when not in use, reducing the risk of electric shock and keeping curious fingers safe.
2. Protect Against USB Charger Hazards
USB chargers are everywhere and can be dangerous for babies and toddlers. Our patented Watch Your Mouth covers are child-resistant, have no small parts, and keep plugged-in chargers safe from little hands.
3. Anchor Furniture, Remove Tempting Items, and Avoid Mirrors
Secure bookshelves, dressers, TVs and mirrors to the wall to prevent tip-overs. Remove items like toys, remotes, or decorations from furniture tops—these can tempt children to climb.
4. Use Safety Gates and Door Locks in Key Areas
Install hardware-mounted safety gates at the top and bottom of stairs, and use childproof locks on doors to rooms that aren’t babyproofed (like bathrooms, laundry rooms, or home offices). This helps keep curious explorers out of harm’s way.
5. Create a Safe Sleep Environment
Babies should always be placed on their back, alone in a crib, bassinet, or play yard. The crib should be empty except for a pacifier—no pillows, blankets, bumpers, or toys.
