With our first I went as far as to put Styrofoam around the fireplace (Raised stone slabs in front) Plastic protectors in every socket, locks on every cabinet door, etc… By the time the second came along. Well the Styrofoam was gone.

My advice (like you need another moron telling you what’s best for your family) is this. Look at what your friends are doing. What doors they baby proofed and when. I promise for the first year an a half of your child’s life she/he will not be able to open a fully closed door (They can open doors that are left ajar). Baby proofing is an on going thing. I also promise that by age two your child will find make a mess of / destroy / completely mangle something you would of never thought of. Also, half the stuff you baby proofed, the kid never ever will show interest in.

So bottom line: Babies rock and will make you go WTF!?! Spend as much time as you can enjoying your confusion, rather than trying to prevent those classic WTF moments.
