There is no denying that your world turns upside down when you become a parent. Nothing can prepare you for the overwhelming love and sense of responsibility that the arrives with your little human. And once you feel like you are just about getting to grips with all the baby gear, the new routines and piles of laundry, suddenly baby rolls over on their own and you are propelled into a whole new world of mobility!
Top tips from the experts to deal with this turn of events is that mobility will progress quickly, so prepare your house as soon as you can.
We suggest lifting heavy and breakable items from low shelves to higher ones, out of reach of little hands that will grasp everything in a mission to stand-up and worse, pop everything into their mouth for additional sensory exploration! Tie-back any loose wires and get into the habit of leaving hot drinks either in the centre of tall tables or pushed to the back of kitchen units. Install stair gates at the top and bottom of staircases so that the whole family gets used to using them before they become a necessity. Finally, consider buying a lightweight travel cot, for easy use at home, to keep baby safe in those moments your eyes and arms are not readily available.
