Without baby proofing the house, it’s like leaving a panda in the kitchen. It will get into every single place you don’t want them to and leave a chaotic trail of destruction behind it.

Pandas don’t care what they eat, where they get it from or how. They will climb into the cupboards, eat all the biscuits and then climb up the stairs and get into your bed. It’s a pretty similar situation with babies.

So where to start?

Baby proofing is a never ending task. It is not something which is stagnant, it’s ever changing HOWEVER this is how I have got it started….

Baby gates:

Tall, short or auto close?

I like to mix it up, we have auto close on the bottom and top of the stairs.

Take a look at it in my January Faves here:

Tall and standard in other areas of the house but the beauty of a gate, which I love is the Modular 3 Multi-Panel gate.
