Babyproofing for your Crawling Child
Most parents wait until their children start to crawl before baby-proofing the home -- and they find themselves in a panic over all that needs to be done. "I recommend doing it before the baby is born and you're too busy dealing with a newborn to even think about childproofing. You don't need any more stress in your life once the baby arrives," says Kimberlee Mitchell, a professional baby-proofer and chief adviser for the Safety 1st Squad. ?Parents can make it a more pleasant experience by taking their time with each room."

I would have to agree with this comment. It is great to be on top of things and anticipate dangers, but how about some baby gates and child locks, and that can be done in one day. It is only overwhelming if you make it that way. The nursery was important because that is where we spend most of our time.

Although, time is of the essence, I think babyproofing before having the baby is jumping the gun a bit...how about making one room (like the nursery) baby friendly ahead of time, and worry about all the other rooms once baby has come.
