A crawling baby will be prone to a lot of risks. However, it
doesn’t make sense to keep your baby contained in the playpen every often.
There are other items you’ll need to acquire and your baby will be free from
potential risks and dangers.
Baby Floor Mat
This one prevents your baby from the impact of hard floor
when they fall. It provides a cushioned and comfortable spot for your angel to
roam on. As your angel learns to stand,
chances are, they will be inevitable to falls.
I love them because they also keep your baby from the dirty
floor. It is even best when your baby starts to crawl since some are made with
fun appearance to stimulate your baby and keep them engaged.
If you are on the lookout for a baby playmat, choose a foam
floor mat. It is thickly cushioned and lasts longer when compared to other playmats.
Baby Gates
Baby safety gates locks your baby in a safe area when you’re
busy or away for a short moment. They section off some rooms and spaces like
kitchen and staircase.
Babies get active at 6 months and that’s when they start to
explore and make some moves. Some will start sooner so it is important you look
for the safety gate earlier since babies grow and develop at different rates.
Table Edge Cushions
Some furniture like a coffee table are made with sharp edges
and can be a great risk when your baby starts to explore around the tables.
We have foams pads and plastic ones that are made for this
purpose. In our experience, plastic ones have proved to be long life and cannot
be easily ripped off by babies.
Electric Cover Outlets
Open wires and electric outlets are a great risk to babies.
Sometimes you’ll keep your angel at one point then find them at the other
corner in a moment’s notice.
Babies are also not known to be still and you’re likely to
find them examining open electric wires like extension cords. It is the little
things that we assume that always turn out to be great dangers while they were
potential risks in the first place.
It’s therefore important to ensure these points are secured
and sealed with covers and keep potential risks like lamps away from your
baby’s reach.
Cabinet Locks
Cabinets and drawers are known to pinch little fingers.
Aside from that, cabinets are known to secure crucial items like knives and
food and keeping them away from your baby’s reach will be vital.
Most cabinet locks are made to open with a magnet key. I
love most of them because they are made to be invisible not to interfere with
your room’s décor.
There are other items you should invest on like pool fence,
safety straps, bathroom mats, toilet seat lock and more. However, it is not
possible to invest in all of them while others will only be important as the
baby grows.
Just make sure you identify the best ones that you’re sure they’re
crucial at the moment then invest on the rest as the baby grows.
