[blparent] Tips on Baby/child proofing your home

[Elizabeth Cooks]

Leslie, I bet if you bought the materials you will need, you could find

that a try if your husband isn't that handy.

> Even if you had the money, don't waste it there.  Just common sense is

> Baby proof as your child grows. No glass that can break when grabbed, no

> 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

> experiences of what does or doesn't work?
> Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
