Protect Your Baby - 15 Baby-Proofing Products for Your Home

by Robert Fox

New baby in the house? Get ready for some late-night wake-ups. Even if your baby sleeps soundly, you'll probably wake up anyway and slink into his or her room, just to check if they're still breathing. Don't worry, it's normal-it's a sign of a good parent.

When he begins to crawl on his own, everything changes. Every room becomes a potential threat, and you enter the room before them, grabbing any possible choking hazard or skinned knee waiting to happen. As you're consumed with the safety of your baby, friends may roll their eyes, thinking you've gone off the deep end.

But the joke's on them, because you're ahead of the game-always seven steps ahead of your toddler. Your imagination grows and grows as you imagine every possible negative outcome, and grows still as you imagine ways to avoid those outcomes.
