[blParent] Attaching a bell to a crawling baby

[Tony Malykh]

Sharon,

Has it ever happened to you that you kicked your son accidentally while 
walking?

Right now we try to have pretty strict rules in our home to always have 
a sighted adult watching over the baby and letting me and my wife know 
every time the baby crawls out of the playmat. But it actually requires 
a lot of energy to always keep thinking where is baby right now. So I'm 
thinking about relaxing the rules and I'm curious how safe it would be 
if we let the baby crawl wherever he wants and we just follow your 
advice to walk carefully.

And I guess, even if I kick the baby, that wouldn't do much harm 
(relatively), but I'm more worried about tripping over and falling on him.
