Bathrooms, Bedrooms and Babies
Posted by admin Filed Under Uncategorized with No Comments
A child has a tremendous impact on every aspect of your life; in addition to all of your hopes, dreams and plans for the future you are faced with the very real and present need to make safe and suitable changes in your home décor to ensure baby and child safety. Things as seemingly safe as soap dishes can become an attractive nuisance in the bathroom – a wall mounted model might be far safer than a glass soap dish resting atop the vanity; toilet seats need locks to keep inquisitive children from playing with water and the bathtub requires ongoing supervision and vigilance.
One good idea is to look online for baby-proofing safety checklists where you will find not only what the potential danger areas might be in your home but suggestions on how to best address the problem areas. Before you know it the idea of a faucet or spout protector, a shampoo rinse cup and bathtub safety treads will be part of your home décor portfolio.
At the same time you need to look to the future – the day when baby moves from a crib to a real bed is an important milestone and one which may have a few training steps along the way. Most parents opt for a slow transition from crib to toddler bed to a “big kid” bed; there are all sorts of toddler novelty beds available and some are designed to be truly temporary while others are furniture quality and may even be convertible into a chair for use as your child grows.
