Your infant is growing fast and before you allow your baby to flow freely in your home let’s get it ready for their adventure. Here are some tips you can use:
Before the birth
If you are new to this, please prepare your home before bringing home your baby that way it won’t be so hard to do while dealing with other issues like sleep deprivation, late night, and all the other stresses of the world.
Think like a Baby
Get on your knees and see what they see. Take a crawling tour around your home to see things that may be in the way or harmful items that are within your child’s reach. Look for the smallest things because that’s what they see.
Moveable Objects
Look at bookshelves, tables, televisions, and small appliances basically anything that moves can be a safety risk to your child. Ensure these items are properly secured and keep them put away unless in use to avoid them from being pulled on the infant/toddler.
