First of all; I started with a 16g, waited a month, then skipped 14 and went straight to 12. It didn’t hurt at all, it felt like that was the size I was supposed to be at.

I want to order these pinchers: http://www.hottopic.com/hottopic/store/product.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=2534374302028420&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524442195358&bmUID=1235266006129

But they skip size 10 for some reason, which is the size I need.
Is the difference between 12 and 8 too severe?
It’s only one size but I don’t know.
I know you’re not supposed to skip sizes but I skipped 14 and it was totally perfect.

Should I get them anyway? I want them really bad.

How have you baby-proofed your home?




My son is 5 1/2 months old and we can tell he’s just days away from crawling. He’s made a huge advancement in his rolling in the past few days and is now doing an army crawl, but moving backwards. So my husband and I know that we’ve got to baby proof the house now. We know to get all the cabinets locked as well as covering all the unused wall outlets.

But my question is we have a TV console that is open, no doors. So all our gaming consoles, DVD player, DVR, etc are all exposed as well as all the cables in the back. My husband is in IT so he’s meticulous about keeping the cables organized and they’re all neatly zip-tied together, but I worry about my son getting back there. I keep a close eye on him, but you always hear the stories that begin, "I just turned around for a second…" So how would you go about making the TV console baby proof? Would you recommend just getting a new console that would close? I’m not sure we have the money to do that right away, but it’s something we could save for. My son’s safety comes first.

Also, we have a fireplace with a brick hearth. Has anyone used the fireplace safety pads that you can buy at Babies R Us? Are they worth it or is there a better product out there? Here’s the pads I’m talking about: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3240295
Just wanted to add that we keep our decor pretty simple, so no knick knacks and such.

Thanks for the tip on using the gate in front of the tv console. I think we might try that. I don’t think we’re going to go overboard baby proofing, I think a lot of it has to do with common sense, like shutting the door like many of you have mentioned.
Michelle – I know exactly how you feel. It’s a little overwhelming!

Baby Gate Recommendations




I was looking at baby gates online at Babies R Us and it seems like almost everyone has lots of negative reviews. I am looking for some suggestions on gates that you like. Also I am using it for a very wide opening (almost 60") so I am not sure if all gates will expand this wide or not. On the information online some state how big they expand and some don’t. Any help would be great. This is the one I am thinking about http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2267000
hmm, this gate would be between our living room and kitchen, a very high traffic area…… makes me think twice about it.

The first one with the oranges looks a lot nicer in person than in the picture.
