Some children climb everything in sight, while others only touch things at their level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Either way, it\u2019s essential to childproof your owned or\u00a0rental <g class=\"gr_ gr_6 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"6\" data-gr-id=\"6\">home<\/g> <g class=\"gr_ gr_6 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling ins-del multiReplace\" id=\"6\" data-gr-id=\"6\">to<\/g> keep your baby safe. Follow these tips to make sure you\u2019re ready when your little bundle of joy arrives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Get Started Early<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making your home safe for a baby is a big task, so get started early. It takes longer than you might think to make sure you have all of the safety basics covered and emergency plans in place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because some preparations will take time,\u00a0it\u2019s easiest to babyproof your home before your little one arrives. Once you bring the baby home, your newborn will keep you busy and your hands full, and your ability to complete do-it-yourself projects will be limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>Enjoying our content?

One strategy is to perform all of the necessary tasks and upgrades one room at a time. For example, you could secure the kitchen from top to bottom before moving on to the living room. Alternatively, you could choose to work on a specific category\u2014such as cabinets\u2014and install cabinet locks throughout the house before moving on to the next item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With either approach, it\u2019s more important to address life-threatening precautions first and then work your way toward those that might only cause bumps and bruises. Studies show that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsc.org\/home-safety\/safety-topics\/child-safety\/childproofing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"choking and suffocation are the biggest hazards for children less than one-year-old (opens in a new tab)\">choking and suffocation are the biggest hazards for children less than one-year-old<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepare for Emergencies<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If something bad happens, you\u2019ll need to be able to communicate immediately with loved ones and first-responders. To make this easier in the event of an emergency, have these done ahead of time:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Enter emergency contacts and&nbsp;medical information&nbsp;into your cell phone.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Keep a landline phone in the house until all occupants are old enough to carry mobile phones. Print a list of emergency numbers and post them near the landline.<br><br><\/li><li>Make sure apartment numbers are visible. If you&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/apartments-for-rent\/us\/il\/chicago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"rent an apartment in Chicago (opens in a new tab)\">rent an apartment in Chicago<\/a> or other big American or Canadian city, for example, with look-alike units, ask your landlord to add directional signs so first responders can locate your unit quickly.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Install carbon monoxide and smoke detectors on every story of your home. If you already have them, test them to ensure they\u2019re functioning properly. Purchase a fire extinguisher for the kitchen.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ensure the Whole House is Safe for Occupants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Babyproofing includes checking for things that pose a direct risk to children and the rest of the family. So, start by ensuring that your home is safe for all occupants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you rent or own a residence built prior to 1978, there\u2019s a good chance that <g class=\"gr_ gr_19 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Grammar multiReplace\" id=\"19\" data-gr-id=\"19\">lead<\/g> paint was used at some point.&nbsp;Dust from lead paint can be harmful if ingested<g class=\"gr_ gr_21 gr-alert gr_gramm gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear Style replaceWithoutSep\" id=\"21\" data-gr-id=\"21\">.Although<\/g> it\u2019s considered safe if it\u2019s completely covered and sealed by new layers of paint, areas like doors, <g class=\"gr_ gr_20 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling multiReplace\" id=\"20\" data-gr-id=\"20\">banisters<\/g>, and window sills may chip, flake, and peel easily\u2014potentially exposing children to this danger.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Living in an older building also carries the risk of asbestos exposure.&nbsp;If asbestos-based building materials are disturbed by a renovation or simply deteriorate over time, floating asbestos <g class=\"gr_ gr_26 gr-alert gr_spell gr_inline_cards gr_disable_anim_appear ContextualSpelling multiReplace\" id=\"26\" data-gr-id=\"26\">fibers<\/g> could pose a health threat. &nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>If you\u2019re&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/blog\/apartmentliving\/tips-tricks-renters\/renting-with-kids\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"renting with kids (opens in a new tab)\">renting with kids<\/a> and your&nbsp;apartment has a community pool, make sure there are proper barriers with child-resistant gates.

Even food dropped from the table can be hazardous if it\u2019s the wrong size and shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Vacuum regularly to suck up small items that could cause choking, including food.<br><br><\/li><li>Tie back cords on blinds or curtains\u2014or install cordless blinds\u2014to minimize the risk of strangling.<br><br><\/li><li>Remove the plastic caps on doorstops, which are choking hazards.<br><br><\/li><li>Relocate small items\u2014like refrigerator magnets, batteries, paper clips, and other small items\u2014out of reach of tiny hands.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Move any plastic dry-cleaner or grocery bags out of reach<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address all Poisoning Risks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with safety latches, bottom cabinets and drawers should only be used to store items that are safe for baby to find. Pots, pans, and food storage containers, for example, might leave a bruise, but they\u2019re unlikely to harm children. Additionally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Eliminate any&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhg.com\/gardening\/houseplants\/projects\/poisonous-houseplants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"toxic houseplants (opens in a new tab)\">toxic houseplants<\/a>.<br><br><\/li><li>Transfer cleaning supplies and detergents to high or locked cabinets.<br><br><\/li><li>Clear medicines, vitamins, cosmetics, and shampoos off of counters; they pose a poison risk, so move them to a high or locked cabinet. Child-resistant caps aren\u2019t childproof, either; a persistent toddler may be able to get them open.<br><br><\/li><li>Place liquor in high or locked cabinets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Minimize the Risk of Toppling Furniture and Items<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Climbing on furniture is dangerous because it could overturn and fall on a child. Babies can also use furniture to access open windows or pull appliances down on top of them. To prevent this from happening:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Move chairs, trunks, and tables away from your windows so baby can\u2019t climb up them and fall out the window.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Secure TVs, bookshelves, and dressers to walls so they won\u2019t topple over.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Unplug small appliances\u2014like toasters, blenders, or food processers\u2014between uses to minimize electrocution.&nbsp;<br><br><\/li><li>Use heavy-weight picture hooks to prevent pictures from falling off the walls.<br><br><\/li><li>Tape or tie down loose or dangling cords so that pulling on them won\u2019t dislodge or topple the appliance.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Drawers, Doors, Lids, and Corners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ensure that whatever baby might try to open, pull on, or play with won\u2019t hurt them. Usesafety gates at the&nbsp;top and bottom of stairwells, entrances to rooms, or any space that\u2019s off-limits to a baby. Plus:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Install non-slip pads under area rugs to minimize tripping.<br><br><\/li><li>Cover sharp furniture edges and corners with safety padding.<br><br><\/li><li>Block electrical outlets with safety plugs or plastic covers.<br><br><\/li><li>Latch drawers, doors, or cupboards that are within baby\u2019s reach, and move sharp objects to high, locked drawers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Not Always Having to Say No<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Making a house safe takes more than locking the cabinets and padding corners. Having a safe space for kids means you won\u2019t always have to say no. Moving things that are fragile or breakable saves the object, prevents your child from being cut or bruised, and heads off a fight of wills. Even if your child is obedient and follows the rules, you still need to babyproof; it only takes a moment for little ones to get into something they shouldn\u2019t touch!&nbsp;<br><br><strong><em>This guest post was brought to you by&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"RENTCafe.com (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">RENTCafe.com<\/a>, a national apartment search website that enables you to find apartments and houses for rent directly from property managers.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: RENTCafe It\u2019s hard to anticipate what might happen as your child learns to crawl and eventually walk.
