Choose houseplants and flowers wisely
Some houseplants look good to eat, but in fact can cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, gastroenteritis and in some cases can be fatal. Popular houseplants and flowers to avoid include: daffodils and narcissi, poinsettia, Swiss cheese plant, heart-Leaf philodendron, peace lily, myrtle and ivy.
If in doubt, lock it
Most homes have several different kinds of cleaning products, usually stored under the kitchen sink or in a bathroom cabinet - easy places for toddlers to reach. Lock the cleaning cupboard, the alcohol and the pet food store and secure toilet seats to avoid the risk of drowning.
