Our eight month old baby is crawling now, and pulling himself up on things, and seems determined to bash himself on every sharp edge he can find. My partner spends every day carrying him to safety as he moans, ‘Someone should invent something to keep babies away from the dangerous stuff.’ So this post is for him.
I think there needs to be a portable kind of baby proof fencing, something a bit like a fire guard that you can move around the house and use to easily block of areas you want to keep a baby away from. When he was in the ktchen I’d put it in front of the cat food bowls, or the oven if that was hot. When we have the patio doors open I could put it there to stop him gettng in the garden when I wasn’t looking. When he’s crawling around the living room I’d put it in front of that coffee table that he always seems to bash into.
I wish something like this existed, he’s just fallen over, better go pick him up again…
