September is Baby Safety Month, a perfect reminder for parents and caregivers to take a fresh look at their home and daily routines to ensure they’re as safe and supportive as possible for baby’s development.
Bringing a newborn home is both joyful and a little nerve-wracking, and you want every corner, surface, and product in your home to be a haven. While baby-proofing often begins with the big things, such as securing furniture and installing gates, it’s just as important to consider the everyday moments, like diaper changes and weigh-ins, where safety is equally essential.
Smart Baby-Proofing Tips for Your Home
Baby-proofing isn’t just a one-time checklist; it’s an ongoing process as your baby grows and becomes more mobile. Here are some core areas to focus on:
Secure heavy furniture and TVs to the wall to prevent tipping hazards.
Cover electrical outlets with safety plugs or sliding covers.
Use cabinet locks for areas storing cleaning supplies, sharp objects, or medicine.
Keep small items and cords out of reach to reduce choking and strangulation risks.
Install baby gates at the top and bottom of stairs and in doorways to restricted areas.
Check floors daily for dropped coins, buttons, or other small objects.
Set up safe changing and sleeping areas where baby is secure at all times.
Safety at the Changing Station.
Your changing pad is one of the most-used spots in your home, so safety there matters just as much as anywhere else. That’s why the Woddle Smart Changing Pad includes a soft, durable silicone safety strap to keep your baby secure during changes and weigh-ins. Whether you’re doing a quick diaper swap or using the integrated smart scale to check weight, you can have peace of mind knowing baby is safely strapped in.
