Baby Proofing

"Gates are essential, as are outlet plugs and things to screw your bookcases and other heavy furniture into the wall. you'll also want to secure any cabinets with dangerous or expensive things in them. Get something to wind up your blind cords. if you are letting your child in the kitchen you'll likely want guards for the stove knobs. buybuybaby has a good section, as does babies r us. just go in with a sense of what you need or you'll find yourself guilted into a whole lot more.

the good news is that if you've missed something, baby will soon let you know! if you have the right tools ready to go you can generally stay a step ahead, or at least only half a step behind.

[www.babycenter.com] has some good lists, i think."
