We gated the kitchen and stairs, plus locked all lower cabinets. He still managed to peel off the cheap edge protectors though!
Minimalist Approach15% moms chose this path
Securing only major hazards while teaching boundaries through constant close supervision.
Suits stay-at-home Moms in smaller apartments who prefer teaching their baby what is off-limits. You will move dangerous items high up and constantly redirect your crawler.

I just moved the cleaning supplies up high and covered the sockets. It is exhausting chasing him, but he learns the word no.

Expert guidance

As babies begin crawling, unsecured furniture and sharp edges pose significant risks for head injuries and falls. Pantai and Gleneagles Hospitals recommend installing safety gates at staircases, applying corner guards, and securing heavy furniture to walls. What matters most is adapting your space to your baby's mobility and securing major hazards early.
