How to baby proof your luxury apartment

 If you are getting ready to welcome a bundle of joy to your luxury apartment or one you plan to soon move into to, then there is much to think of. Remember when it comes to creating that homely and safe space for the baby, you need to keep in mind many things apart from buying a crib and diapers. Here are some useful tips and insights to help you get started.

Be Organised

During those initial days and months after the baby arrives, things can get hectic, to say the least! That is why it is important to be organised beforehand and have everything ready and in the right place. One thing you can do is put aside separate drawers or buy small storage boxes where you can organise and keep the clothing and diapers for the baby. You can also set aside separate space in the kitchen to keep baby-related items like feeding bottles and formula as well.

Choose the Right Crib

When it comes to choosing a crib, don't just go with something that looks nice when you see it at the store or shop online. Remember that it should go well with the layout and design of your apartment too. Buying a huge crib and changing table for a relatively small living space isn't going to work. Additionally, if you plan to have the crib in your room, then you don't want to be cramped for space either. Look to choose a crib that will fit well and check the dimensions before buying.

Do a Thorough Clean Up

Keep in mind that you need to keep the environment your baby is going to be brought into clean, germ-free and sanitised. This doesn't only apply to the baby's room but the entire apartment. Of course, if you are moving into a new apartment, then you can rest assured that the living spaces will already be pristine and are safe for little ones. For example, in Colombo, hotels aside, you also get luxury apartments and residences at properties like the up and coming Cinnamon Life which features ideal environments not just for the baby but the whole family.

Run Through a Safety Check

You should look to do a comprehensive safety check of the apartment and assess what items may have to be removed or barricaded from curious hands and mouth! While newborn infants are not going to be crawling around, they do grow up fast and will be in no time; with that in mind, go through each room of the apartment and check what is accessible to the baby when crawling.

Baby Proof the Apartment

Last and by no means least, is the process of baby proofing the apartment. Once you have done the safety check, you can remove or hide certain items like ceramics, glassware, ground-level plants and antique china. To avoid any mishaps due to sharp corners, consider buying corner guards which provide useful foam protection for furniture like tables. Also, remember to cover open electrical sockets (you can buy special covers for them) and use baby cabinet locks including in the kitchen and bathroom where cleaning chemicals are kept.
