You will be surprised to see how easy it is for a baby to get in trouble at home. Starting from kitchen cupboards to sockets, babies can reach every part of a house. Have a look at our blog to find tips on how to babyproof a house

When your baby enters the house, make sure it is a safe place for him/her. Take necessary precautions 2-3 months earlier as some babyproofing products need time to actually start working.

After babies start to crawl and walk (around 6-10 months), the second stage of precautions should be taken. Make a to-do list of safety measures to create a safer place for a crawling baby. Safety precautions are necessary even when a baby can’t move independently yet. A slippery floor, shaky furniture, or toxic substances can be dangerous for them. Have a look at suggestions on how to get ready for emergency situations.
