Start Early
- Cover Outlets
- Secure Cords
- Practice Safe Sleep
- Prep Your Space
What’s Happening Developmentally:
Newborns may seem still, but this stage is all about rapid growth. Babies begin to roll, kick, stretch, and visually explore their surroundings. Even before mobility, hazards at adult height (cords, outlets, unstable surfaces) can become safety concerns.
Why Baby Proofing Matters Now:
Early preparation prevents rushed changes later. Creating a safe environment from day one allows you to focus on bonding, feeding, and rest.

Baby’s on the Move!
- Install Baby Gates
- Secure Cabinets & Drawers
- Practice Safe Play
- Block Hazards
What’s Happening Developmentally:
This is when curiosity takes over. Babies begin crawling, pulling up, and exploring everything within reach - including cabinets, cords, and furniture.
Why Baby Proofing Matters Now:
Once mobility begins, hazards multiply. Babies explore with their hands and mouths, making previously “out of reach” areas suddenly accessible. To help establish what might be a hazard to your little one, try getting down to their level to see what they see!
