Baby Proofing is not a very simple task to accomplish. What you need to do is to survey an entire room, all that’s in it and to make sure that there is nothing there could potentially harm your baby. However, compared to Child Proofing your home, Baby Proofing seems like a walk in the park.

After your child ‘survives’ being a baby in your carefully baby-proofed room, it’s time to get your entire house ready for a curious, drooling, hyperactive yet still irresistibly adorable toddler. It’s time to child-proof your home.

Start with taking out any pointed, breakable, potentially poisonous objects from your toddler’s reach. This means having to clear most of the space about two feet from the floor. Take these objects to a more secure place (usually the more elevated places). Remove the sharp-edged furniture, your constantly moving kid could accidentally bump on these and end up getting hurt. For those that you cannot afford to remove, attach foam or any other material to remove the sharp edges.

Always keep your floor clean. Unless you want your kid to use his body to clean it up for you. Make sure that all the items within the crawling the area of your kid are clean. Remember that everything within your child’s reach is a toy/food.

Any change in weather and the seasons entails a change in the lifestyles of people. Work done around the house is not off the hook when it comes to these changes. There are some household chores that shoot up along with the coming of the rain, and there are those that require more effort and attention. Here is a short list:

Roof repairs. Well technically, this concern needs to be addressed even before the rainy season approaches. But, as the most common excuse goes, how can one know about the water drips and gutter problems without the rain seeping through or dripping inside the house?

Pay more attention to your boot room. Since muddy shoes and other footwear as well as wet coats and umbrellas will need more room, better clean up the space. Make this a regular chore, you would not want to have a muddy boot room, this messes up the idea of having the place for cleaning off the mud.

Loose the drapes. Or if you do not want to go without any, go with the lighter ones. Also make sure to close the blinds and windows at night or when you’re about to leave the house. Heavy rain and strong winds could conspire and decide to come into your abode uninvited.

Check your food supply and batteries in stock. Be ready for power outages and other emergencies.
