Baby Proofing

- The best way to see where and what baby might get into is by actually getting down on the floor and crawling around. You will be able to see many things that your baby might get into that you might not have realized. 

​

-Clear any small objects from under furniture 

​

-Make sure cabinets or closets that might have cleaning or other hazardous supplies like medicines are locked or moved! 

​

-Place baby gates at top of staircases and entrances to any room you do not want baby going into 

​

-Try open storage toy bins to prevent baby from pinching or smashing their fingers or head
