I can relate with what you are saying. It is a difficult time when they are young and crazy. I wish I would of trained Mia in an exercise pen. (like a doggy play pen) If you choose to purchase an ex pen your baby safe is safe in there. Then little by little let it roam when you have the time and energy to observe its every move. Short 15 minute trips out at first and then a little more as time progresses. The ex pen is a good safe place for them to stay when you are not available to baby sit!
Mia is now 17 months old and I do not give her free reign of the house. She stays safe this way. I have teenagers that leave things out that she loves to get into. French fries, paint balls, candy wrappers, she finds it all.
It is good you are here, it has helped me so much.
If you haven't worked on getting a first aid kit together, that is something that is super to have on hand.
Best of luck, keep us posted on how things are going. |
