As far as products we are using - We love love love This Play Yard. Yes it’s a big eyesore - but it’s the only thing that allows me to make a sandwich or check the mail when I'm home alone with Aliyah. We keep soft blankets and lots of fun toys in it to entertain her. She’s only in it for a small portion of her day but it’s a lifesaver when we need to put her somewhere that we know is safe and babyfriendly. We also likes to get in it with her - Tyler loves to read her books and I play the guitar. It’s so comfy that we’ve been known to get in it when she goes to bed and snuggle up. We have really spiced it up using her links and toys - Exhibit A:
We also decided on this play yard because our stairs are a funky shape and would not work with the typical baby gates. This gate can stretch across the up and down stairs with one go without any problems!
We already have the standard cabinet hooks on our kitchen cabinets we don't want her in from when we were doing foster care. Our goal is to baby-proof in chunks as she becomes more and more mobile. It feels a bit overwhelming to try to take it all on at one time! We are also in the process of ensuring her nursery is completely baby-proof so that she will have a room in our house where she can be left completely unsupervised to play on her own as she gets bigger.
