Having a baby is probably life’s greatest experience. And as you’ve been hearing ever since you’ve had the ability to make one, it’s also life’s greatest responsibility. This includes feeding, clothing, & bathing them, teaching them general life lessons, and above all else, keeping them safe. Baby proofing your home is the first step you’ll take in keeping them safe. Here are some tips to keep your little ones safe during their first few years of exploring the world.
Keep Harmful Products Out Of Reach: Most people keep all of their cleaning chemicals under the sink. While this is convenient, it’s at the perfect level for your little one, and they don’t know the difference between Draino and Kool-Aid. Many parents lock that cabinet, but I recommend just placing them out of reach all together. A higher cabinet, utility closet, or garage are ideal places.
Bye Bye Bookcase: If you have a bookcase, there are two potential disasters. First, your child could climb it and either fall off or pull it down onto themselves. Or second, they could just pull all the items down and ruin them. Avoid both by installing wall shelves at least 5 feet off the ground.
Soften Inevitable Falls: You child is going to fall down all over the place, there’s nothing you can do about that. But you can soften the blow. Cover your coffee table with a baby table bumper, or replace it with a rounded table. Be wary of any other sharp edges around your home.
Close Off Dangerous Areas: Place a safety gate in front of any rooms you don’t want your baby to wander into. If you have a fireplace, get a baby fireplace guard. Place baby proof doorknob covers on all your doors.
