When your baby starts rolling, crawling, pulling up, or walking, your home suddenly becomes a world full of adventure — and potential dangers.
Indian households often have sharp furniture edges, open balconies, slippery tiles, and accessible kitchen areas, making babyproofing even more essential.

Babyproofing isn’t about restricting your child — it’s about creating a safe, comfortable environment where they can explore freely.
This guide helps Indian parents understand what to babyproof, how to do it, and which items truly matter.

🏡 1. Start With the Basics: What Babyproofing Really Means

Babyproofing involves modifying parts of your home to prevent accidents such as:

• Falls

• Burns

• Choking

• Electrocution

• Slips

• Furniture tipping

It’s not about perfection — it’s about preventing avoidable risks.

⚡ 2. Babyproofing for Indian Homes: What’s Unique?

Indian homes often feature:

• Marble/granite floors (extra slippery)

• Open staircases

• Heavy wooden furniture

• Gas stoves with accessible knobs

• Balcony grills

• Low storage cabinets

• Electric inverters/exposed plug points

• Water stored in buckets and tubs

This guide addresses these specific challenges.

🛋️ 3. Living Room Safety (High-Traffic Zone)

✔ Cover sharp corners

Use corner guards on:

• Tea tables

• TV units

• Bedside corners

• Glass furniture

✔ Secure TV units & heavy furniture

Babies tend to pull themselves up using anything sturdy.
Use wall anchors to prevent furniture from toppling.

✔ Hide wires & chargers

Use wire organizers or Velcro straps to keep cables out of reach.

✔ Choose non-slip mats

Avoid slippery rugs; use anti-skid mats especially on marble floors.

🛏️ 4. Bedroom Safety (Where Babies Spend Most Time)

✔ Baby-safe mattress area

Avoid thick pillows, bulky blankets, and stuffed toys — they increase suffocation risks.

✔ Secure drawers & cupboards

Use child locks for drawers that contain:

• Medicines

• Jewellery

• Makeup

• Sharp objects

✔ Window safety

Install window locks or grills.
Avoid placing furniture near windows where babies can climb.

🍳 5. Kitchen Safety (The Most Dangerous Area)

In Indian homes, the kitchen is the heart of activity — but also the riskiest.

✔ Use stove knob covers

Prevents babies from turning on the gas accidentally.

✔ Keep hot liquids far from edges

Chai spill burns are extremely common.

✔ Lock lower cabinets

Use baby locks on:

• Cleaning supply cabinets

• Utensil drawers

• Gas cylinder cabinets

✔ Avoid tablecloths

Babies may pull them — causing hot bowls or heavy utensils to fall.

✔ Keep sharp objects far away

Knives, peelers, graters, scissors — store high and out of sight.

🛁 6. Bathroom Safety (Most Overlooked Area)

✔ Never leave buckets filled

Babies can drown in as little as 2 inches of water.
Keep buckets empty or covered.

✔ Use non-slip mats

Bathrooms are slippery — anti-skid mats are essential.

✔ Keep toiletries & cleaners locked

Shampoos, phenyl, detergents — store them out of reach.

✔ Toilet lid locks

Babies are curious. Toilet locks prevent accidents and mess.

🔌 7. Electrical Safety (Must-Do in Every Home)

✔ Add socket covers everywhere

Indian plug points are low and within reach, making covers essential.

✔ Hide power strips

Keep extension boxes away from crawling zones.

✔ Secure appliances

Ensure irons, kettles, and heaters are unplugged and stored safely.

📦 8. Furniture & Decor Safety

✔ Anchor tall furniture

Cupboards, bookshelves, dressers — babies love to climb.

✔ Avoid glass decor

Move fragile items to higher shelves.

✔ Use door stoppers

Prevents finger injuries — extremely common in Indian homes.

🚪 9. Balcony & Staircase Safety

One of the biggest risks in Indian households.

✔ Install safety gates

At staircase openings or balcony entrances.

✔ Check balcony rail gaps

Ensure gaps are safe and the baby cannot slip through.

✔ Block climbing furniture

Keep stools, chairs, and tables away from balconies.

🧼 10. Hygiene & Feeding Safety

Use BPA-free, soft, durable baby accessories for feeding and grooming.
This is also perfect to highlight Adore Baby Products, like:

• Anti-spill sippers

• Hygienic feeding bottles

• Soft grooming kits

• Safe bath essentials

• Washable breast pads

• Weighted gravity straws

These tools simplify daily parenting and reduce hazards.

💛 11. Keep a “Baby Safety Checklist” Handy

✔ Daily Checklist

• No open buckets

• No loose wires

• No choking hazards on floor

• Floor dry and clean

• Toys cleaned and stored

• Stove turned off

• Windows locked

✔ Weekly Checklist

• Check furniture screws

• Clean corners & toys

• Inspect sippers & bottles

• Replace any broken safety items
