Baby proofing the home

[Arimeh]

I can't really help because we only have a gate across our laundry to stop DD3 getting into the cat litter!

Everything else is ok for her to get into, drawers etc in the kitchen - cos if she's playing in the cupboards or drawers, she's not hanging off my legs

We have our sharp knives on the bench though - so while we don't "baby proof" our home, we have stuff that they could hurt themselves with up and out of their reach. Although sometimes the bigger ones get a chair and push it over to where they want something.... but I'm usually pretty good at catching them doing something they aren't supposed to....

Pretty much all we did was put some latches on some cupboards that contain chemicals, put plugs in power points and made sure knives and glass bowls in the kitchen were up high. Apart from that we've taught DD1 not to touch some things (eg wine racks, alcohol racks) and taught her to be careful around table edges where she could bang get head (to the point she now says 'careful' to us...).

EDIT - we can't put gates on our kitchen either. When I'm cooking I generally put on the TV or she plays with toys or she will raid the utensils drawer (her fave option).
