Adding a new child to a family is an exciting time in anyone’s life. However, with that can come stress about how to keep a child safe and healthy in a new environment.
Baby-proofing is the act of eliminating possible risks and hazards to a young child in the environment they will be spending time in. Depending on the age and mobility of the child, this can mean different things.
Babyproofing Tips and Tricks
Initially, babyproofing may bring to mind things like putting locks on cabinets and drawers and setting up baby gates at the tops of staircases. You should also remember to put caps on electrical outlets and ensure your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide sensors are working properly.
Another important area to babyproof is the child’s bedroom. Buy furniture like changing tables with guard rails so the baby can’t roll off. Additionally, be careful of what bed or crib you choose so a small child can’t climb out and fall. One step of babyproofing that may seem daunting is moving bigger items or decorations out of the way of your new baby. Breakable items sitting out, sharp corners of furniture, items with long cords, and pieces of value such as antiques or collectibles are all potential items that could harm a young child.
However, that doesn’t mean you have to get rid of it all. Thanks to StoreEase, you can simply put these items in a self storage unit until your little ones grow up a little bit more.
