Make Way for Baby! Four Babyproofing Tips for New Parents

July 25, 2014 12:03 pm

As a new or expecting parent, you’ve likely gotten so much advice about babyproofing your home that it might start to become overwhelming. These helpful tips will make it easier to make every room in your home safe for Baby, and they might even point out some places that you may have missed.

  1. Avoid plastic outlet protectors. While these outlet inserts are common in homes with babies, even they can easily become a choking hazard. Invest in sliding outlet covers instead to protect your outlets and avoid the risk of choking.
  2. Place covers on stove knobs. The knobs on your stove are incredibly easy for a toddler to turn on, and they’re right about his or her height. Keep them covered to avoid dangerous burns.
  3. Don’t store cleaners in lower cabinets. While you usually store cleaning products under the sink in your kitchen or bathroom, you’ll need to find a new space once baby arrives. If you don’t have anywhere else to keep them, invest in a secure, childproof lock.
  4. Add bumpers to the corners of low tables. The edges of your coffee table are just at a toddler’s eye level, and they could become dangerous for a baby just learning to walk. Minimize their impact with plastic bumpers.
