Question
What is the definitive guide to baby proofing according to Shari Stamps?
Answer
There isn't a "definitive guide" to baby proofing that I've written, but I do have some advice based on my experiences. The right time to start baby proofing your home really depends on your family and your baby's development. Some families start baby proofing during the pre-baby prep, while others start in the postpartum period or when the baby starts to roll over. However, if your little one has started crawling, standing, climbing, reaching, or walking, you'll want to baby proof as soon as possible.
In my home, we use The Gathered Home Gate with extensions downstairs, The Light the Way Gate with extensions upstairs, a Pinch Protector on doors, and Corner Gel Protectors on our coffee table. It's all about making your home safer for your little one.
Remember, every home and child is unique, so what works for one family might not work for another. It's always best to assess your own home and child's needs. Would you like more specific advice on baby proofing certain areas of your home?
