All about baby proofing
One of the best moments of our lives is when we get birth to a baby, since the first day we are holding him into our arms, we realize how small and defenseless they are. We as mothers are developing the feeling of protection for our babies from the very first moment they look into our eyes. When they are newborns they are to small to walk around the house and check every corner of it. Bur what can we do when they get a bit older and they start playing around the house and their curiosity is developing more and more. We must do something to be able to protect them, even if we are not around them all the time. You may have other things to do, than to sit and watch him every minute of the day.
Inside our house there are allot of items which may seem harmless to us, but they can represent real danger four our kids. So the first thing we have to do is to take in consideration, all the possible accidents that may happen, for different reason. Do not forget that he mostly walking on the floor, and he can not get higher than the table corner.
That is the main area where we have to search for different dangerous things. The first thing you must check, are the outlets and the electronic cables. So try to buy outlets provided with covers, which are hard to open for a baby. After that all the cables, from TV, DVD or any other electronic device we may have around the house are nor damaged in any way. After that, assure yourself that your baby will not have the possibility to catch his small hands in the doors. To do that, provide every door with doorstoppers.
Because we are speaking about the doorstoppers, remember that they re usually covered with small pieces of rubber, which can be easily removed. So, you better remove them before your child may remove and swallow them. This is the period when they want to introduce most everything in their mouths, so one place that can be interesting for them is your bag. Just think with how many things found in your bag he can chock.( Mostly with every thing.). Make sure that all the drawers and cabinets are well locked so the baby will not be able to open them. As it was mentioned earlier he can not get much higher than the table corners. So, are they a danger? Of course they are. So we can even buy round tables, or find rubber covers to put on each corner of the table. Like that the risk of a head injury will be reduced. Sometimes the rugs may slip on the floor, and because your baby may stay permanently on the floor, we do not want him to slip and fall. So you may find on the market carpets and rugs provided with slip proof mats. Also you must check out the entrance door.
To be sure that your baby will not live the house, and visit your neighbors, install a small chain on the top of the door, so the baby will not be able to open it. Also you must take care of the electronic devices around the house. We do not want them broke either, so use special covers for all the TV controls. Like that he will not be able to push the buttons. Another danger around the house, may be the plants. Some of them can have poisonous leaves. So try to remove those plants from the house, or never buy them. Try to verify all the time, to not exist any small item on the floor. It can represent a very good meal for your baby, but also a very dangerous one.
