They may be too young to go trick or treat, but there are some kids at the Cleveland Clinic who are getting into the Halloween spirit. The babies in the neonatal intensive care unit are enjoying their costumes for their first Halloween. Their parents and caregivers were the ones who dressed them up as a caterpillar, cow, zebra, and owl. Several of the crocheted hats the babies wore were handmade by the grandmother of a former NICU baby.
Halloween is an exciting time for the kids, but safety officials have some tips to keep all your little trick-or-treaters safe. The most important piece of advice is to "see and be seen." Make sure your child can see through their costume and that they can be seen by motorists. Reflective clothing is always a plus, and you can have your little ghoul or goblin carry a flashlight with them. Make sure to remind them to use the buddy system, stay with their group, communicate where they will be, and never dart out in between cars. Don't forget that Mom or Dad needs to check out the candy haul when everyone is back home.

October 23, 2024 Press Release from the National Fire Protection Association: As Halloween creeps closer, fire safety hazards lurk among many of the holiday’s festivities and celebrations. According to the National Fire Protection Association® (NFPA®), between 2018 and 2022, an annual average of 835 home structure fires began with decorations, resulting in three deaths, 30 injuries, and $14 million in direct property damage. Nearly half (47 percent) of these fires occurred because the decorations were too close to a heat source; approximately one-third (32 percent) started with candles. With these and associated safety risks in mind, NFPA is encouraging everyone to take simple precautions that can help ensure a fire-safe holiday.
