Childproofing
Childproofing Providing a healthy physical environment for your baby means more than safety gates and cuddly toys. In fact, it begins from the moment of conception.

Making your home safe for baby begins by making it healthy and safe for you. It means ensuring that no harmful microscopic particles or gases are contaminating the air in your home. It means being prepared to cope with unexpected disasters in the world outside your front door. And it means adapting various systems or rooms in your home to create an environment that is user-friendly and safe for people of all abilities and ages.

Although beloved humorist Erma Bombeck died in 1996, her spirit is alive and well in Juliet Myfanwy Johnson's Somebody's Always Hungry--Essays on Motherhood. Juliet mines motherhood's golden moments with laughs, tenderness, and a crystal clear recognition of the humor and chaos inherent in raising small children. This is a must-read for every new mother and father--a guidebook to living the joys of parenthood.
