The Best Baby-Proofing Products: Reviews & Prices for the Top 50 Baby-Proofing Supplies for Stairs, Doors & Everywhere Else

Having a baby is a life-changing event. It will be years before you sleep through the night again. Even if your baby is an awesome sleeper, you’ll be waking up in the middle of the night, tiptoeing to her room just to make sure she’s still breathing. You can admit it; every new parent does it.

When she starts to crawl, it’s a whole new world.  Her safety is constantly on your mind. You scan every room upon entering, quickly identifying all possible hazards and removing scary objects. Your friends may think you’ve completely lost your marbles as you obsess over the most seemingly insignificant things. But you’re always five steps ahead of your toddler, envisioning the many possible outcomes of every possible step she could take. You become a professional pessimist, always quick to imagine the worst-possible outcome.
