Babyproofing

How did you babyproof your home for your toddler?

Our Mommy MD Guide’s reply: Babyproofing is a very big, very important job. I hired a babyproofing service to come to my house. It wasn’t expensive, especially because it bought me tremendous peace of mind.

I don’t buy new cars or expensive shoes. I’d rather spend money on something like having an expert babyproof my house.
