  • Protect drawers, doors, and cupboards
  • Place baby gates at the bottom and the top of the stairs
  • Hide all electrical cords
  • Protect sharp edges with safety covers, bumpers, and padding
  • Unplug all the electric appliances that are not frequently used

Make your new TX home baby-friendly step by step

With so many things to do and check when making your TX home baby-friendly, you may feel exhausted and stressed. That's why you should realize your plan step by step. And here's how. After making the floor plan for home arrangement, decide which room is of your highest priority. Then make an inventory list of your belongings and decide which ones are safe to be placed in visible places. Try to declutter your belongings as you make the list of your inventory. You can throw away some of the things, and store some in the basement or the attic. However, if you don't have enough space for some things, don't throw them away if they are in good condition. Organize a garage sale or giveaway. This is the perfect time to meet your neighbors.

After you get rid of the things you don't need, start arranging your home. Make a timeline and set a deadline. While making the room-by-room arrangement plan based on your inventory list, think of the protection supplies you need to purchase for each room. And finally, start arranging the house. Our recommendation is to start from the baby's room since it's going to spend most of the time there. And now, let's check our room-by-room guide. But before that, let us remind you to decide where to put your piano. Try to save as much space as possible. If you want to remove it from the house for some time and need to disassemble it, don't bother doing it by yourself. Rely on piano movers Texas and ensure its safety.

Room-by-room tips to make your TX home baby-friendly

  • The kitchen: Install door locks, cover the outlets and check whether there are any dangling cords. Then, replace chemicals with natural products. Put plastic bags, magnets, breakables y and other items out of reach.
  • The living room: Safeguard the furniture and its edges. Make sure the baby cannot climb unstable furniture. Don't forget to close the fireplace. Then, make sure the carpets are non-slipped. Chech window cords and install window locks.
  • The nursery room: Pay special attention to this room. The first safety step is to purchase a baby monitor. When it comes to furniture invest in high-quality cribs and other necessary pieces. Don't put anything on the wall near the crib. And secure windows, drawers, and doors.
  • The bathroom: Keep chemicals, razors, and other toiletries out of reach. Get a non-slip bath rug. Most importantly, reduce the water heater temperature. Of course, secure the carpentry.
