Would you let your baby crawl here?

[WeepyNsleepy]

1. In your own home: in the bathroom
2. On the lawn in your own garden
3. On the lawn in a park or public green space
4. On the ground of a public playground
5. In your own home in an area where people wear outside shoes
6. Indoor play area for older children
7. On the beach
8. Any other place that might not seem immediately obvious bit turned out to be baby crawling (and parent heaven)

(Assume that you are supervising your baby.)

Just curious what other people think is ok. With DD I was over protective and didn't let her crawl in any of these. Now with my second I don't want to make the same mistake (of being over protective) but am genuinely wondering if I'm overlooking some serious health or safety issues.

Yes, this. There’s a park near us where I wouldn’t have let her, but that’s because it’s a tramps park full of glass, poo and needles that we only go near the outskirts of because it’s by the library.

Tbh I let her crawl everywhere except maybe the grand national or Glastonbury.

Yes to all, but I take the view that dirt and bugs and germs are there. We can try to control things but that way lies madness because you simply can't.

So better to try to be OK with it and accept that all sorts of things get into our bodies.

I would not let my baby crawl in a place full of broken glass, needles, dog poo etc - but an ordinary park, beach, garden, floor - definitely.
