Baby Proofing Your Home: A Complete Guide
When your baby starts moving — rolling, crawling, pulling up — the world suddenly looks very different. That coffee table corner, those kitchen cabinets, the electrical outlets at perfect finger height — all become safety concerns. Baby proofing doesn't have to be overwhelming if you tackle it room by room with the right products.
The Must-Have Safety Items
Start with the biggest hazards first. **Baby gates** block off stairs and rooms you want to keep off-limits. **Cabinet locks** prevent access to cleaning supplies, sharp objects, and other dangers under the sink and in drawers. **Outlet covers** are cheap and essential — toddlers are drawn to outlets like magnets. **Corner guards** on sharp-edged furniture protect against bumps and bruises during those wobbly first steps.
Room-by-Room Approach
**Kitchen**: Cabinet locks, stove knob covers, trash can lock
