Is My Apartment Baby Proof? Probably Not.

I found out a couple weeks ago that I’m going to be an aunt. I am very excited because at 36 I wasn’t sure If my brother and his wife were ever going to have kids. And while the little rascal will not be with me 24/7 I do plan on playing babysitter quite a bit so it’s time to baby proof my apartment. Here’s some tips I’ve found

Always check bath water temperature with your wrist or elbow before putting your baby in to bathe. This will prevent burns to a baby’s delicate skin.
Does the toilet seat have a latch? This will prevent your baby from possible drowning in the toilet.

How are the latches on your cupboards holding up? Have any broken off and need to be replaced?

Are all cords and electrical appliances out of your baby’s reach?
