Baby proofing??

[steph196]

We didn't baby proof anything with S, but C is in EVERYTHING! It is driving me nuts! I currently have rubber bands around our double cabinet doorknobs, but that isn't working well. He loves opening drawers, but constantly smashes his fingers. Do you have any awesome drawer/cabinet locks that won't pinch his fingers, but won't be a pain for us to unlock when we need to get into the cabinet/drawer?

Honestly, I hired a company to come and babyproof. Jamie wasn't into things, but elizabeth is also just insane. It was sooooo worth it

We have these on every single drawer and cabinet. www.target.com/p/safety-1st-cabinet-drawer-latches-14pk/-/A-14061603?ref=tgt_adv_XS000000&AFID=google_pla_df&CPNG=PLA_Baby+Shopping&adgroup=SC_Baby&LID=700000001170770pgs&network=g&device=m&location=9028912&gclid=CjwKEAjw5_vHBRCBtt2NqqCDjiESJABD5rCJvP_u8eQuxpwVCDe-Fk1ajieaKbdLgfIwHcphIwIMRhoCK7nw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Never needed them for A but H was/is into everything. Once he figured out they wouldn't open all the way he started to leave them alone.

We use the magnetic ones. I like that they can be turned on or off so we can leave them open if using the kitchen or if he's not interested

Oh yes. It's amazing. I didn't know it was a thing until Elizabeth started turning my hair gray, lol.

We have these on cabinets

And this on the drawer with cups that he used to be obsessed with

[teamhayes]

We never baby proofed but tied a ribbon around the two lower snack drawers bc well snacks and they kept stealing them

[ktstorm]

We used the same ones as ladybug on the cabinets. We tried some of the little push tab ones on drawers with Benjamin, but he broke them.

[onehitwonder]

We use the first ones on cabinets that we don't need to get into often and the second ones on cabinets used more frequently because they can be opened and closed with one hand and more quickly.

We did zero baby proofing with C. We had to do the entire house with T and the child still tries to kill himself every 30 seconds. Passing you wine, steph196

Yep, our C was a maniac! I almost wanted to duct tape the toilets shut! I baby proofed by buying more alcohol, for myself lol.

Did he still get his fingers pinched before he started leaving them alone? I was going to buy these last week, but thought that the finger pinching would still happen.

The only thing that has gotten me through the last 10.5 months is alcohol. Haha!

hmm I can't remember. I do remember he abandoned them within a day or two when he didn't get his way lol

I agree with jamaicam. The first one is like Fort Knox and we use ot on all the dangerous cabinets, too.

It just isn't fair! Although, if the first was like this, maybe none of us would have had a second.

As a mother of 4 I can agree 100% 2nd kids are possessed
