There is no way to know what your baby will do once it starts crawling and walking so baby proofing your home is a must.
Here are a few tips to help you with this important process.
The Kitchen
If you have cleaning supplies and detergents in low cabinets, move them to the very top ones instead. Move plastic and paper bags (suffocation hazards) and anything sharp to high drawers, and put safe things lower.
If you use vitamin or mineral supplements, keep them in a hard-to-reach drawer or cabinet with a safety latch as they tend to look like candy.
The Living Room
Falls and collisions with furniture are the biggest dangers in this room, so you should add cushioned corner guards to the coffee and side tables, or any other sharp-cornered surfaces.
Also, you should move everything away from your windows so baby can’t climb up and fall out.
The Nursery
You should have a thick piece of carpet or a rug to cushion falls. Make sure the toys are in an open box as heavy lids can trap the baby’s head. Get finger-pinch guards for hinges on doors.
The Bathroom
Don’t leave your child alone in here! And, DON’T leave your child alone in the bathtub, even for a second!
Move harmful products to high shelves, and remove all electrical appliances and their cords to avoid electrical dangers
