How can I prevent choking hazards at home?

Preventing choking hazards at home involves careful supervision and organization:

1. Cut Food Properly: Slice food into small, manageable pieces, avoiding round shapes (e.g., grapes) that can easily block airways.
2. Remove Small Objects: Regularly check your home for small items (coins, buttons, toys) that could pose choking risks and store them out of reach.
3. Supervise Eating: Always supervise your child during meals and snacks to ensure they are chewing properly.
4. Educate Caregivers: Ensure anyone who looks after your child understands choking hazards and knows how to respond.
5. Use Safety Gear: Install safety gates to restrict access to areas where small items may be present.
