style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One of the most monumental and joyful times in your baby’s life is when they first learn to crawl and, shortly thereafter, walk. It’s exciting to watch your little one learn to get around on their own, from those first teetering steps to their confident walking, skipping and jumping.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Watching your baby learn to be mobile will bring wonderful memories but can also be a bit stressful, at least at first. Everyday items in your home now seem a bit more precarious when it comes to your toddling baby. You can give yourself peace of mind by thoughtfully baby proofing your home. By preparing for spills and tumbles, your baby will be safer as they navigate finding their balance and remaining upright. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">No matter how much you baby proof your home, your baby will (and should!) occasionally fall or get into drawers or near tables that they aren’t supposed to. Bumps and bruises are a natural part of this stage of development, and learning how to fall and walk safely around the house is an important skill for your child to develop. Though it’s important to take precautions, no one should bubble wrap their home—or their baby, for that matter. Try to take everything with a grain of salt, and know that your baby’s stumbles are part of the journey. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some ideas to get started baby proofing each room in your home.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u003Ca href=\"https://nurturelife.com/?utm_source=blog_internal&utm_medium=display&utm_campaign=conversion&utm_content=nativeads_DIY_Baby_Proofing_Your_Home\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-18080 size-large\" src=\"https://content.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/CTA-Healthy-Baby-Meals-Hands-and-Braised-Chicken-1024x341.jpg\" alt=\"healthy baby meals\" width=\"1024\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https://content.dev.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/CTA-Healthy-Baby-Meals-Hands-and-Braised-Chicken-1024x341.jpg 1024w, https://content.dev.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/CTA-Healthy-Baby-Meals-Hands-and-Braised-Chicken-300x100.jpg 300w, https://content.dev.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/CTA-Healthy-Baby-Meals-Hands-and-Braised-Chicken-768x256.jpg 768w, https://content.dev.nurturelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/CTA-Healthy-Baby-Meals-Hands-and-Braised-Chicken.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" />\u003C/a>\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cstrong>The Living Room\u003C/strong>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Baby gates just might become your new best friend during this developmental stage. Use gates to “rope off” any room or area that you don’t want your baby to enter, including at the top and bottom of each set of stairs. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To prevent little fingers from getting pinched in doors, try \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0199JMET2/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">these guards\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> made of soft, durable foam. Outfit any low windows that your little one can reach with guards or locks as well. Be on the lookout for sharp corners on window sills, coffee tables and other furniture, and cover them with foam if necessary.  \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Secure loose electrical cords so your baby doesn’t get tangled in them while crawling or trip over them while practicing walking, and be sure to baby proof all outlets with \u003C/span>\u003Ca href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Mommys-Helper-Outlet-Plugs-Count/dp/B00081J3N6/ref=sr_1_5_s_it?s=baby-products&ie=UTF8&qid=1521823671&sr=1-5&keywords=outlet+cover\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">secure covers\u003C/span>\u003C/a>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Secure any loose items near the crib so little hands can’t pull unwanted things in. Protect all outlets. Be sure any large furniture items that are up against a wall, like a bookcase or a dresser, are secured with an anti-tip kit.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>The Kitchen\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lock up cabinets, pantry doors and drawers, especially if they contain sharp objects like knives and scissors. Keep detergents, pesticides, cleaning products and any other toxic household chemicals locked up, preferably in a high cabinet. \u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that your trash can is secure. If your dining table has a tablecloth, tie up the ends so nothing gets pulled off, tugged or spilled. In case your child wanders into the kitchen after dinner has just been heated, make sure to use the out-of-reach back burners whenever possible.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not everything needs to be off limits! Set aside one kitchen cabinet or drawer within your baby’s reach that they can open and explore. Pick one that’s not too close to the stove or oven and fill it with safe but interesting objects. Think plastic storage containers, wooden spoons, empty yogurt containers or puree jars.\u003C/span>\u003C/p>\n\u003Ch2>\u003Cb>The Bathroom\u003C/b>\u003C/h2>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First and foremost, always keep the toilet seat down.
