My 7 month old has just gone from being relatively inactive (some rolling here and there) to full on crawling and pulling herself up onto every available bit of furniture in sight, all within the space of a week! I'm obviously delighted for her, she seems like she is having so much fun learning all these new things, however I've been kind of blindsided as I assumed this would happen gradually giving me time to adjust, as opposed to going from happily lying on one spot to full on terrorising the entire house haha.
I need to baby proof everything that much is clear! Do any experience mums have any tips! Especially on how to keep her safe. Should I move every bit of moveable furniture??? What should I watch out for. Will the next few years just be spent running around after her making sure she doesn't seriously hurt herself! I feel like a few bumps and scrapes are normal and healthy but everyone around me likes to wrap her up in cotton wool so I'm second guessing myself. As you can probably tell I'm a first time mum.
