My LO is 8 months old and just starting to crawl around, and get his hands in everything! Is it worth getting the house professionally child proofed and does anyone have any contacts for someone who might be able to do this for me? TIA!

Get a playard with a mat inside for cushioning for living room. Get baby gates for bedroom, I put near bathroom entrance (depends on your room structure) to prevent LO crawling there. Buy the sharp corner protectors from IKEA/daiso/mama shop. Online also got sell cushioning strips for baby’s safety, google it. I pasted over low table, any low sharp corners etc. it looks hideous but baby’s safety is no.1. Online also got sell those clips that prevent babies from opening cupboards. Get bunch of these, too. I also have the horseshoe-shaped thingy for the door to prevent accident door closing. And of course, if you IKEA MALM chest or any potentially fallable furniture, please have someone mount it. Last but not least, do not leave LO aloneee.
