    • To avoid strangulation, don't attach pacifiers, medallions or other objects to the crib or body with a cord.
    • Also, don't place a string or necklace around the baby's neck.
    • Keep cords from venetian blinds, verticals, drapes, etc. away from cribs, changing tables and playpens since the baby's head can get caught in the loop. Secure them well above the baby's level.
    • Hang dangling toys and mobiles out of reach so that the baby can't strangle on the string.
