If you should block your baby into a room like the bathroom with a gate across the doorway during the day, you might get a surprise when you get home.
We did this with one of my Yorkies, Jerry, when we first got him, cuz it was the only room in the house without carpeting, and we thought he'd be fine. Well, he scratched under the gate, right through the hall carpet, the padding underneath, and the subflooring, in a circle about 6" across!!!! Then he chewed up the pieces of carpet he'd ripped up into about a million pieces. When we got home, I thought my husband would bust a blood vessel seeing the damage--but instead he just looked at me and burst out laughing because the silly dog looked so innocent sitting amidst the carnage.
