The period when our baby starts to crawl is one of the most anxious times for parents. As the baby becomes more active, parents can't help but observe them. Rightfully, every parent has the same questions in mind; "What if they fall? What if they bump into something?" Taking small precautions to minimize home accidents can ease your worries a bit. Precautions should be taken inside the house before babies start crawling.
For example, if you live in a duplex or triplex house, you may need to install child safety gates at the top of the stairs to prevent your baby from falling down. If you live in a high apartment, it is also advisable to use safety gates at balcony entrances, or if you do not want to close the balcony entrance, it is beneficial to stretch netting over the balcony railings to prevent your baby from falling. You can use child safety plugs to protect against electrical and gas accidents. You can place non-slip strips in bathrooms and bathtubs to prevent your baby from slipping and getting hurt. There are child safety locks for drawers, windows, and cabinets; you can use these locks to prevent your baby's tiny fingers from getting caught in such places.For glass surfaces, you can use glass films to protect against breakage. To prevent cabinets from tipping over, they should be mounted to the wall. You can use corner and edge protectors for sharp corners and edges like coffee tables, desks, kitchen counters, sofa edges, and doors. Examples can be multiplied, and taking such precautions for your baby is not very difficult. However, it is advisable to seek help from a professional consultant based on the interior architecture and furniture distribution of your home for these precautions.
