Toddler Tips
U.S. Surgeon General Issues Second "Healthy Dozen" List for Toddlers
Never Leave Your Toddler Unattended
As a child grows, so does his or her natural curiosity to explore. It just takes a few seconds for an inquisitive toddler to get into a dangerous situation. Make Sure Your Child Has a Primary Health Provider
Prevention is the key to a healthy childhood. So make sure that your child has a primary health provider, such as a pediatrician or family practitioner, who knows your child before your child has an illness, injury or developmental delay that requires medical attention. Fully Immunize Your Child
Make sure your child gets all immunizations on time. Immunizations have prevented death and disease for millions of children throughout the United States and the rest of the world. Talk with your child's primary health provider about keeping up to date on all vaccinations. Learn Child First Aid and CPR
Be prepared. Know how to call for help, including poison control. The national toll-free line for poison control is 1-800-222-1222. Also, learn child first aid and CPR. We hope you will never have to use these skills. But if you do, the life you save could be your child's.
