Babyproofing especially comes up a lot. Keep in mind that you baby will stay where you put him until he can scoot or crawl, which probably won’t be until he’s about six months old. (Beware rolling off beds before that!)


Sure, yes, it’s a good idea to think through some furniture rearrangement while you’re sorting out a nursery space, and, yup, that glass-top coffee table you nail your shins on on the way to the bathroom in the dark will also not be a good friend to your new baby. “Have that removed!” But no, you don’t need to research the babyproofing market while you’re pregnant and you certainly don’t need to Super Glue all your cupboard doors shut to protect your immobile infant from the Windex (and, on a bad day, yourself  – or is that just me? Hello?)
