Wanted
Baby proofing consultant. Come into the home, find all possible ways that my baby could be hurt and remedy the risk. Willing to pay ... well, I don't have much, but willing to pay nonetheless.
This is kind of crazy, but with Gabby, we did very little baby proofing. Obviously, we put away breakables, but we didn't put a gate on the stairs and only locked up cabinets where we stored chemicals. Our pediatrician was not happy about us not putting a gate on the stairs, but Gabby learned how to go up and down really quickly, and she is super strong. I guess what I'm trying to say is that you can go overboard with the babyproofing. As long as they can't drown, get out of the house or ingest chemicals, you're probably okay. (And your story about the poop explosion was hilarious!)
