Watch Out for Baby Blind Spots
Before you know it, your baby will be mobile. Along with grabbing your phone to take videos of every inch they crawl and step they take, you’ll also need to baby proof your house to make sure it’s safe for your little explorer. It can feel like a daunting task, but Huggies® has got you (and your baby.) Here is a list of common watchouts and tips to make babyproofing and parenting easier.
A smooth change.
Be ready for those groggy middle-of-the-night diaper changes by making sure your changing pad or table is set up according to its directions and is in an easy-to-access place. Also ensure you have everything needed for a diaper change within arm’s reach. This includes Huggies® diapers and Huggies® wipes, designed for one-hand dispensing so you can always keep one hand on your wiggly child.
Fuel for the next stage.
Introducing your toddler to new foods is one of the most exciting and entertaining parts of the parenting journey. Stock your pantry with what your toddler needs ahead of time so you’re ready when the time is right. Try NIDO’s® specially formulated powder milk beverages for toddlers and growing children. At home or on the go, grab Gerber® puffs for a fun, nutritious, wholesome snack young kids can use to practice feeding themselves.
Clearing the way.
As you’re carrying precious cargo around the house, make sure no road hazards are in your way. Run electrical cords under rugs, behind furniture, or tape them to the floor to ensure you don’t trip.
Beware of hazards.
You’ll be surprised by just how fast babies develop, so it’s never too early to scan your space for potential dangers. Anchor heavy objects, which can pose a tipping and injury risk for your baby. Install latches on cabinets with dangerous items inside. Place baby gates at the top and bottom of staircases and keep them up until your little mover can confidently walk up and down the stairs without any assistance.
Blowout babyproofing.
Add this to the list of things you don’t want to do as a parent: research how to clean baby poop off your couch, car seat, or carpet. Protect it all — and baby’s wardrobe — from diaper explosions by choosing the right size and right brand. Huggies® Little Snugglers® have a back pocketed waistband for preventing leaks and blowouts common with newborns. For babies on the go, Huggies® Little Movers® can keep them comfy and leak free while exploring and crawling.
Keeping your eyes on the road ahead.
Watching your child explore your home and learn about the world around them is truly rewarding and joyful. Anticipating issues and baby proofing ahead of time will allow you to relax and enjoy the ride knowing you’ve made a space safe for your toddler.
