When you see an infant approaching something dangerous, move quickly in the infant's direction to stop him or her. Develop a signal to use such as clapping. Clapping and saying the infant's name will get his/her attention and alert him/her to a dangerous situation. Very young infants will not react to clapping and calling his/her name. You will need to redirect or remove him/her from a dangerous situation.
