Congratulations Amanda!!
SafetyMate for the New Parents is “a hand-held, interactive talking first aid guide for family, baby, child or infant emergency.” The SafetyMate will guide you step-by-step through over 30+ first aid emergencies. While many of us take precautions to avoid accidents, would we really know what to do if we were in fact faced with an emergency? If you’re child stopped breathing, after calling 911, would you know what to do while waiting for the ambulance to arrive? Honestly, I wouldn’t.
The maker of SafetyMate, David Feder, witnessed his newborn daughter stop breathing when she was only a few minutes old. Fortunately, they were in the hospital with professionals nearby that were able to help, but David could not help but wonder what would have happened if the same situation occurred while not in the hospital. And with that eye-opening experience, the SafetyMate was developed.
The images above are of what you will see when you flip open The SafetyMate. With just the press of a button you will have access to reliable and invaluable life-saving instructions. The unit itself is lightweight and compact making it easy to bring along in your diaper bag, purse, in your car and while traveling. The verbal instructions are easy to follow and provide a sense of ease when you would normally panic.
Why you want it: (Insert your child’s photo here!)
What others are saying about it:
Kristy @ Mommy in Pink says…
“It is basically a hand-held interactive device that can speak two languages English/Spanish and has easy buttons you can press for immediate information on what do in situations such as seizures, burns, choking, allergic reactions, etc. I listened to each and every category on what to do in time of a particular emergency and I feel so much more informed. I wouldn’t have had the slightest clue on how to deal with a baby that was unconscious or seizing and the information here is so easy to understand and I can truly take this knowledge with me anywhere I go! Now if I were to be in an actual emergency, I like the fact that I can have access to information that would enable me to act quickly while I wait for further assistance.” Read more…
Forget bibs, rattles, baby wipe warmers and other things that are easily forgotten about…THIS is the gift every new mother should receive. Of course we all hope there will never be a need for emergency assistance, however, anyone would be more than grateful for The Safety Mate if there was.

If you suspect a poisonous snake bite, call 911 or your emergency response number immediately. Ask the patient to be still and calm. Tell the patient not to move the part of the body that was bitten and to keep it below heart level.

Sweet
Thank you for this potentially life-saving opportunity.
If a person is having an allergic reaction the faster the reaction, the more severe it is.
I learned not to take a sharp object that’s lodged in the body, out: now I remember people doing this with fishhooks caught in the skin, and creating a lot of harm. This implement is just wonderful because it gives you added details while you’re already paniced and searching mentally for all of the right things to do!

I learned
Falls/Bone Injury:
The first aid steps are the same whether the bone is actually broken or not. Do not attempt to move the patient unless the scene is unsafe or his life is in danger. Do not move or try to straighten an injured limb.
you’re not supposed to put ointment or anything on a burn – good to know
Seizures:
Do not try to stop the convulsions or seizures. Do not hold or restrain the person. Clear the area of anything sharp or hard to protect the patient from injury. Protect the victim’s head by placing a thin cushion or folded clothing under it.
This has happened to me once when I was volunteering at my son’s school. It would have been great to know what to do then, very informative site!
i’m on the newsletter! i could really use this for my infant niece
I learned that scald burns happen most frequently to children under the age of 5. And 10% of those burns happen in the bathroom! (I would never have thought the bathroom…)
Good tip! Burns in the kitchen seem more obvious but the bathroom is actually a place where almost 10% of burns take place. Hence, check that water heater – turn it down below 120 degrees F
Daycare providers and school employees are required to be first-aid trained and certified when hired.
I learned that if you suspect a poisonous snake bite, tell the person not to move the body part that was bitten and to keep it below heart level.

That’s good sense, apathy is the best approach anyway.
The best advice is to leave the sharp object in the body. I think the natural reaction is to remove it and the reminder to leave it needs to be reinforced
I just learned that it gives instructions in english or spanish.
I learned that you can contact the manufactur via email or phone… I can’t tell you how I hate waiting for an email response so having a phone number available is very important to me!

What I learned about burns…
If a dry chemical caused the burn, carefully brush it off. Use a gloved hand or clean cloth. Immediately flush the chemical off with large amounts of water.

I did not know about the fact that you are supposed to not attempt to straighten or probe a suspected broken – that so goes against the instinct to try to “make it all right” and see how bad the injury is. Good to know!
I am going to a baby shower in April and have been trying to figure out who to save money for a gift. This would be the best solution for me. Thanks for the giveaway!
I learned basically to never try to move an injured person, Iwould totally try to pick up my baby if it was in distress, but its important not to move them and to remain calm.
“Flick the foot” for an infant who appears to not be breathing. I’ve never thought about that before, while you can shout “are you ok?” at an adult and know that the patient can’t speak to you if they are choking, what would you do for an infant? Flick the foot, learn something new everyday.

Do not try to stop the convulsions or seizures. Do not hold or restrain the person. Clear the area of anything sharp or hard to protect the patient from injury. Protect the victim’s head by placing a thin cushion or folded clothing under it.
Do not put anything on a burn except for cold water or ice. No butter or any of those old wives tales.
If a sharp object remains partly stuck in the body, do not take it out. I never knew that. Instinct would be to take it out.
This would be a great gift for my daughter, a first time Mom.
I is good to be prepared for any emergency

I learned how to deal with choking: Rest the infant face down on your forearm. Place your forearm on your lap or thigh. Keep the infant’s head lower than the chest. Support the head and jaw with your hand. Give five back slaps between the shoulder blades with enough force to drive the object out.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I like that it covers all age ranges.

How to give CPR:
Tap the patient’s shoulder and shout “Are you OK?” or for an infant, flick the foot. If he does not move or react, open the airway and look, listen and feel for breathing for no more than ten seconds. Tilt the head and lift the chin to open the airway. Gasping is not normal breathing.
I would have tried to stop or control a seizure…I would have never guess to not restrain the person!!
