Drowning is a leading cause of child death in Florida. Never leave a child unattended near any body of water. This includes bathtubs and buckets of water. It takes only a few seconds and a few inches of water for babies to drown.
 Use cushioned covers on all knobs and spouts and cabinet edges.
Use non-skid pads or appliques in the tub.
Install child-resistant locks on cabinets and toilet seats.
Lower hot water temperature.
Always check the bath water before placing your baby in it.
