Baby Health & Safety

Keep your child happy and secure with health and safety supplies

Babies are delicate, vulnerable little people who need constant assistance from the grownups in their lives. Luckily, keeping your little bundle of joy healthy, happy and safe has never been easier. Walmart carries a range of healthcare, monitoring and security products that give parents peace of mind and make the task of keeping an eye on your little one simple and effective. With options ranging from personal care products such as lotions to emergency medical supplies such as thermometers and a range of different tech tools for monitoring, our Every Day Low Prices make it possible for you to stock up on the supplies you need to make your life with baby peaceful and smooth.

Health and safety essentials

If you're a new parent, you may be a little overwhelmed by the range of options in the Walmart Baby Health and Safety department. Don't worry; we're here to help. By breaking the department as a whole up into smaller product-focused sections, you can make it easier to find exactly what you need and identify the products that work best for your budget and lifestyle.

Babies have delicate skin and sensitive eyes, and they require gentler personal care products than kids and adults use. From baby shampoo that's gentle on the eyes to specially formulated lotions that keep your baby's skin from getting too dry, this product category helps you cover all your personal-care bases to keep your baby clean, soft and dry. This is also the section where you'll find healthcare essentials. Just as babies need specially formulated soaps and lotions, they also require special dosages of medications. Don't give your baby adult formulations of over-the-counter medications like Tylenol. Stick with baby formulas and follow recommended dosages on the bottles for everything from gas-relieving medications to pain and fever relief. This section also has specially designed tools like thermometers and nasal aspirators to help you keep track of your baby's illness and relieve issues like nasal congestion. Babies can't blow their own noses, so nasal aspirators are an important tool to keep on hand just in case your little one gets a stuffy nose. Other grooming- and health-related supplies designed specially for babies, like first aid kits, teething toys, bumpers for sharp corners and bath thermometers, are available in this section.

Baby gates and babyproofing

Newborn infants aren't too difficult to keep track of they aren't going to move without your help. But with each passing week, babies get more crafty about moving around on their own and finding new ways to cause mischief without even realizing it. You can keep your baby safe and save the contents of your cabinets from getting an infant-spurred reorganization with the equipment in our Baby Gates and Babyproofing sections. If you have pets or older children, baby gates can be helpful right from day one of bringing your baby home from the hospital. These simple gates let you set up temporary barriers in your home to block off space and make hazards like staircases inaccessible to little ones. You can pen your baby into an area larger than a playpen or crib to allow some freedom while also placing limits on access. Similarly, babyproofing supplies let you prevent access to rooms, windows, cabinets and other potential hazards. Shopping for your babyproofing supplies before you bring your little one home can make it easier to get this protective gear in place when you actually need it. You can prevent your baby from fiddling with electrical outlets, toilet seat lids and other household fixtures with the supplies in this section.

Baby Monitors

Baby monitors are a high-tech way of making sure your baby stays comfortable and quiet at night or during naptime in the middle of the day. Our Baby Monitors section includes all the latest technology, giving you the ability to hear and see your baby. With so many trusted brands on offer, you can pick and choose from the available options to find the most reliable, highest-quality baby monitor money can buy. While you can still find the classic two-way radio baby monitor style that provides audio feedback from your baby's room, you can also invest in a webcam-style baby monitor to allow family members and other loved ones to peek into your baby's nursery from across the globe. This can also allow parents at work to check in on the baby and give nervous new moms and dads the ability to leave their infant with a babysitter and still stay plugged in to what's going on at home. Visual baby monitors can even be useful while you're inside the house; in addition to hearing whether your baby is fussing, you'll be able to see whether there are any potential hazards in the crib or determine whether your baby is asleep or peacefully awake by just glancing at your monitor.
