Babyproofing

I definitely like the “as you go” approach. Kids are different and you might not need everything you can think of. Amazon makes it really easy to get what you need quickly.

Keep the cleaning supplies locked up, stair gates, and all the typical stuff but also you have to teach them not to go in the cabinets or touch things without permission. Teach them poison makes you sick, use poison stickers until they learn. Kids learn to get past child locks or you might leave something out by mistake. You also have to do this with electrical outlet even if you have plug covers and also any fire arms teach never ever to touch. Give them designated play area and beyond that is no touch without asking. If you take the extra step and teach why they don’t touch they’ll be better off for it. They might go into another house without baby proofing and see things and not knowing eat or drink it or think it’s a toy. Kids very young can learn touch/don’t touch, baby proofing only takes you so far and doesn’t replace teaching.

Another for the invisible magnetic cabinet locks. Big fan of rubber corners for tables and we use them on the corners of our stone hearth fireplace too.
