- First stage: Usually the early months when baby is sitting up and/or crawling and especially if there is hard flooring. Thudguard can be used, (perhaps twice a day) usually after a nap when baby is most alert and wants to explore the ground of a safe allocated room.
- Second stage:When babies fall, they usually land head first, since their centres of gravity are in their heads (adults' centres of gravity are in our bottoms). The head hits the floor with a terrible, ripe-melon-like "thud." Thankfully, most of these head injuries are minor. A clear safe area should be created in advance of baby walking with playpen breaks in between. If baby uses the Thudguard in the first stage, then he should be good-natured enough to wear it now.
- Third stage: Your toddler although walking, may still be less than sure footed so a harness outdoors can be a great help but be prepared for the time when your toddler will insist that you let go and allow him to walk unaided.
When should my infant wear a Thudguard?
