How To Baby Proof Your Home

It is time to baby proof the house when baby is starting to get into things such as crawling, pulling themselves up or even walking and able to move quickly.

Listed below are some pointer's on making your household safer by simply baby proofing it and putting your mind at ease.

Electrical outlets should all be covered with plastic shields so baby cannot poke any objects or their fingers in the outlets and cause harm to themselves.

If you have any rooms that are off limits or stairways you will need to put up gates so your child will not fall down the stairs and get hurt.

It's a good idea to make sure all cords (electrical) are tied up and out of your baby's reach. It is too easy for a baby to get tangled up in hanging cords and either choke or swallow a foreign object. Don't place a crib in front of a window or next to anything with cords that can be reached.

Unstable furniture like bookcases or dressers should be tightly secured down so baby can't pull anything on top of themselves.

Sharp edged furniture should be covered with guards or some sort of cushioning on the sharp edge so if baby falls into it they will not get injured.

Aways keep bathroom doors shut and to prevent the baby from falling into the toilet install a toilet lock.

Placing child proof handles on certain doors will keep your child from going into rooms that they shouldn't be in.

It's time to put on window guards on so your baby isn't able to fall through the screen or out the window itself.

Don't leave your window guards open more than 6 inches and put a gate up in front of any screen doors.

If you have an office and choose to keep the door open remove harmful objects such as pens, paper, the shredder. Or just put a gate up in the office doorway.

After reading the previous list on baby proofing you will be ready to put your plan into action and make your home a better, safer enviroment for your baby.
