Having a new baby is an exciting time for the whole family. Keeping your little one safe is one of the most important aspects of being a parent. Thankfully, there are things you can do to make your home a safer place for mobile babies and toddlers who try to get into everything. Babyproofing your home in advance will give you peace-of-mind before your bundle of joy arrives.
Timing is Everything
Start planning a few months before your prospective due date. This gives you time to evaluate your needs, then purchase and install your materials. This also gives you a bit of leeway if your baby comes earlier than expected. Plus, you just won’t have the time or energy to do all this after your baby is born.
Babyproofing Room by Room
Get down on your hands and knees to see each room from your baby's perspective. It will allow you to see hazards more clearly, so you know what needs to be fixed or changed. Do this room by room in any area of the house your baby might roam. In some instances, you may want to use a safety gate to keep your baby out of rooms where he or she shouldn’t be, such as the laundry room.
Babyproofing your home is a fairly big job, but it’s also essential. Start with the nursery, then take it one room at time. If the clock is ticking to baby’s arrival, getting a jump on things will help put your mind at ease.
