Babyproofing the house for your 11-month-old Baby

from 11 months to 1 year

Your 11-month-old baby is becoming more active every day!

He/she might be exploring your home more than ever before. Whether they're cruising around the living room furniture, standing on their own, or climbing up (but not down) the stairs, consider taking new steps to keep them safe.

It’s a good idea to install safety gates or other barriers at the top and bottom of stairs. Here are some other tips to help keep your baby safe:

Clear their play area of hard, sharp-edged furniture
Lower their crib mattress so they can’t crawl out or fall while they stand
Install childproof locks on drawers, screens, doors, and windows
Move pots and pans containing hot foods away from counter and table edges
Insert plug protectors in any unused electrical outlets
Store toxic substances (like household cleaners and products)

Make photos of your cute active baby, upload to the App. Write about his/her current development.
