Do you let your young toddler wander the house or do you confine them to one room?
Q. I have gates and keep my son in the living room (he is 15 months old) but sometimes I feel like he should be able to wander and explore the house.
What do others do?
And if you let them wander, do you follow them around telling them "NO" for all the things they shouldn't touch? I know my son would destroy everything and get into things he shouldn't!

A. My house is pretty much baby proofed. All the kitchen cabinets are locked, we have outlet covers, things they can break are placed out of their reach, etc. I keep my bedroom door closed and the bathroom door closed. My kids are 15 months old and 2 1/2 years old. They like to play in every room of the house (except master bedroom and hall bathroom). Their favorite room is my son's room. They love to play together in there.
Things that are baby proofed in my home (to give you a few ideas):
1. child locks on all the doors that lead outside.
2. bifold door locks for closet doors.
3. outlet covers
4. outlet covers for outlets that are being used.
5. Wire Guard http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=233756&parentCategoryId=85183&categoryId=85216&subCategoryId=86202
6. Brackets so furniture won't tip.
7. Cushion guards for the edges of tables.
8. Medicine in a locked cabinet
9. Surge protector cover http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=24&parentCategoryId=85183&categoryId=85216&subCategoryId=86202
10. Toilet lock
11. toilet paper roll lock
12. Keep the bathroom door closed
13. Keep the master bedroom door closed
14. Window wedges so the kids can't open the windows http://www.onestepahead.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=127764&parentCategoryId=85183&categoryId=85216&subCategoryId=86203
15. Cord windups for mini blinds
16. Oven door lock
17. Refrigerator door lock
18. Locks on every cabinet
19. Door guards so that fingers aren't pinched
20. Things to make area rug not slip.
21. Sliding glass door lock.
That's all I can think of for now. I'm sure there is a few that I am forgetting to mention.
