Babyproofing at their eye level

Get on your hands and knees and crawl through every room baby has access to. What looks reachable from that angle? What corners are exactly at forehead height? Sharp furniture edges, dangling cords, small objects, and toppling risks look different from 18 inches up. The essential five: outlet covers on every accessible outlet, cabinet locks on anything containing cleaners or medicines, furniture anchors on dressers/bookcases/TVs, blind cord shorteners or replacement cordless blinds, and stairway gates at both top and bottom of every set of stairs. Roll through the audit every 3 months as baby's reach expands. New mobility unlocks new hazards — cruising opens up coffee tables, climbing opens up bookshelves, walking opens up counters.
