What have you baby proofed around your house that never would have thought to baby proof?
Now that I have a 16 month old owning my home I have been astonished by everything that has had to be baby proofed! I am going shopping tomorrow for stove knob covers (never would have thought in 1,000 years to baby proof the knobs on my stove). What have you all found to be over board, but necessary to baby proof as well?

we have only baby proofed a few things, so i spend ALL DAY keeping the house safe from my 13mth old son!
He’s into EVERYTHING from the toilet to the kitchen sink.
my son is one next week and not walking yet so i havent gotten the full on baby proof stage yet…but…
i’ve had to baby proof the tap spout in the bath
baracade the small glass cabinet (for wine glasses) i just surrounded it by these baby couches we have and he cant move them
the blinds!! and curtains!! cant baby proof them but he loves them
and i’ve had to put our very big and long coffee table right in front of the tv so he cant touch that either!
but i’m constantly chasing after him, i’m scared he’ll pull a kitchen chair on himself, but i cant get rid of them – just have to have eyes like a hawk!!
perks of motherhood lol
Me and my hubby decided we weren’t going to baby proof much, we did the chemicals under the kitchen and bathroom sinks, and covered outlets, and I eventually will create some sort of borders thingy to put in front of our entertainment centers. But other than that, we don’t want to bring up our son in a false sense of security. He needs to know he’s not allowed to do things and if he does he can get hurt. The best way to learn something is from your own experience. If he wants to get into my bookcases, he can, but he’s going to very well be helping me put everything back. Only the things I can see being fatal, we’ve baby proofed. I’m sure once he gets older, I’ll soften up and do more.(He’s only 5 months and just starting to crawl) It’s funny how you have your visions of how you’d like to parent, but you always do a little differently. Hahaha
The baby in your pic is such a cutie.
I can’t keep anything on the ground. I mean, seriously, I feel like I have a puppy… Anything left on the ground, she will get to and destroy.
For instance, she’s colored the walls with lipstick, colored the leather sofas with white deodorant, put a number of things in the toilet, and she just tries to eat anything and everything… She also recently broke our TV remote, which was her favorite “toy”… haha
So, mostly I’ve just had to pile everything on the table and TV, etc. She’s not even walking yet (10 months), so it’ll be exciting once that happens.
