[blparent] Tips on Baby/child proofing your home

[Miranda Borka]

Hi Veronica,
I'm ~ot sure if you've seen this, but in previous messages I've posted to the list I explained that my husband and I are in the process of adoption. We will be adopting a child between the ages of 0-3 years old.
Therefore, we may need to child proof our home sooner than a parent who has a child naturally, as we don't yet know the age our child will be. This is why I am planning ahead.
Thanks for the info, and yes I am blessed to have this group! My husband and I truly appreciate all the great advice and resources you all have provided thus far!

In Christ, Miranda

Even if you had the money, don't waste it there.  Just common sense is
needed.  You don't  need to do anythihg until your child is mobile, able to
stand or crawl. Then a must is cover those outlets.  You can buy outlet
covers just about anywhere and keep them covered unless you need that spot.
Baby proof as your child grows. No glass that can break when grabbed, no
sharp things to play with, no little papers and toys to eat, no cords to
pull or chew. No curtains that they can tie around neck,  no pictures to
fall off the wall on the heads. 
Don't worry about it until you have to.  V

Hi,
We're gathering information on what we can do to baby/childproof our home.
We're looking for information for children between 0-3 years of age.
Since we don't have the $300.00 or more for a babyproofing expert to come
and evaluate our home, we're wondering if any of you have any tips and
experiences of what does or doesn't work?
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!

In Christ, Miranda
