Make Your Home Baby-Proof: 10 TIPS

Baby-proofing your home is essential for creating a safe environment as your baby begins to explore.

Here Are Some Practical Tips For Parents:

Install childproof locks on cabinets and drawers, especially those containing cleaning supplies, sharp objects, or medications. Keep appliances like the stove and oven off-limits with appliance locks or safety gates.

2- Cover Electrical Outlets: Use plastic outlet covers or safety plugs to prevent curious fingers from accessing electrical sockets.

Keep electrical cords out of reach or use cord organizers to prevent tripping and chewing hazards.

3- Secure Windows and Doors: Install window guards or safety locks to prevent falls. Use door knob covers to access to rooms or areas that should be off-limits.
