Tips for your little crawlers!

Parents should babyproof their home once their baby is crawling. As kids’ mobility develops, so does their ability to investigate what they couldn’t before!
In order to protect your child from danger, the “Health, Your way to life” network expert in Bonn, Germany, Wolfram Hartmann recommends that you put away all things that your baby can get stuck to while crawling, shield all electric outlets with safety caps, pad the edges of any item of furniture that has sharp edges and put away any chemical or hazardous substances to give your baby enough space for moving safely.

Another possibility to protect your child while crawling, Hartmann says, is to use movable baby cribs with secured rails sometimes since the baby can move freely and safely. But Hartmann stresses on the necessity to watch your kids at the crawling stage whenever they are outside the crib.
We should also note that the best way to encourage crawling is to entice your baby to get from one place to another by putting toys, or the parent, just beyond his reach. You can create simple and safe obstacles like cushions, or sit on the floor and allow your baby to use you as a climbing tool, pulling up against you and standing on your legs.
