Baby proofing just means making your house safe for your baby. You should go ahead and start the baby proofing processes before your baby is getting around on his/her own. In all reality, it will feel like you are always doing something in your home to make it safer for your little one. Some key things you can to do start baby proofing:

~keep ALL chemicals and medicines in a locked cabinet
~get a smoke alarm, and check it pretty often to make sure it is always working. Also think about a carbon-monoxide alarm. I got one when Alex was born, and I'm thankful I did.
~put in window and cabinet locks where needed, and don't forget the outlet plugs!
~don't leave lighters or matches laying around, put them in a safe place where they baby can't reach.
~Keep your loose change in a jar out of reach

These are just a few of the many ways to begin the process of keeping your baby safe! If you can think of any to add please do so!
