8 Things That Should Be in a Family Apartment with a Small Child

In an apartment where there is a small child, everything is adjusted for the baby: no sharp corners, window guards, and cabinet locks. We tell you what else you need to buy for the baby's safety and comfort.

1. Guards

A necessary item for safety. Install guards on plastic windows, cupboards with dishes, knives, and other potentially dangerous items.

2. Bibs, spill-proof bottles and more

All these accessories are useful for feeding the baby. For example, a bib will teach him to chew solid food: fruits and vegetables are placed inside the mesh or silicone attachment, which can be mashed with the first teeth without choking. Plastic plates with suction cups and spill-proof bottles will keep the room tidy.

3. Dishwasher

Today there are models with hygienic washing functions – such a disinfecting effect cannot be achieved by hand. Another undeniable advantage is the saving of budget and time for a young mother. Also, no major rearrangements are required: modern dishwashers are very narrow and don’t take up much space.

4. Blender

You can, of course, make baby puree in the usual way, but it’s faster and better with a blender. Moreover, not all products can be thoroughly blended using traditional kitchen tools.

5. Baby Monitor

A baby monitor allows you to calmly cook in the kitchen and hear what’s happening in the child's room. Choose a device with a large range of action and various observation modes (light, sound, vibration). By the way, progress is not standing still, and now there are video monitors on the market as well.

6. Night Light

A must-have for a child’s room and restless babies. Stores offer a wide selection – from standard ceiling lights with nightlight mode to lamps that can play lullabies.

7. Air Humidifier

It maintains proper humidity in the baby’s room, protects the skin from drying out, and reduces the risk of respiratory diseases. By the way, this useful device is not only for the child’s room but also for the whole house.

8. Socket Covers

Install these at least in the child’s room, and once the baby starts walking, also throughout the house.
