If you thought that button batteries killed babies, that is not the case. There is a reason that batteries and batteries in general are so common. It is because they are an excellent way for children to be harmed or injured. The good news is that almost all injuries happen when the battery is in contact with something in your body, but that is not enough to kill the child.
The bad news is that the button is so common that even the most experienced button-battery expert can fail to recognize it as a danger. So what does this have to do with us? Well, if you are a button-battery expert you know how to tell the difference between a child’s battery and a toddler’s battery.
With the exception of the most seasoned button-battery expert, everybody does it wrong. But this is an easy one to fix. All you need is a childproof battery safety cover that is labeled “Safe for use with children.” The cover should be made of sturdy material that can withstand a few drops of water.
The first step is to buy a childproof battery cover. We use this one from the hardware store.
The next step is to buy a childproof battery clip. You can find these on Amazon or eBay, or even at department stores. We bought ours at Staples.
The problem today is that the batteries are extremely cheap. And because the batteries don’t come with instructions or warnings, you can probably just buy one that looks like it is for an electrical outlet. But you need to use them with a proper clip, which is difficult to do with a plastic or metal one. And you need to be careful when you use them in a sink, especially if you have a baby in your sink.
There’s a good chance that the batteries you’re using are causing health problems for your baby. Because you can’t tell if the batteries are causing your baby to have seizures or not, the medical community has just basically tossed that possibility out the window. But unfortunately, the batteries arent the only thing that are killing your baby: you also need to be very careful about what you put in your baby’s bottles.
