We never ‘babyproofed’ our home.
Setting and teaching boundaries early and watching the children closely avoids most problems.
That said there are certain safety items that are now building code. We just pulled an electrical permit for a little remodeling work. We were forced to bring the existing work to 2017 code requirements. Think meant that all electrical outlets had to be childproof. They are made so that a child can’t just stick something such as a paperclip into the socket and get shocked/electrocuted or start a fire.
Our kitchen has locking doors, and we keep them locked so no child or non-immediate family adult enters on their own,
We keep cleaning supplies and other chemicals (wasp/hornet spray for example) in locked cupboards.
Having 4 dogs we don’t keep breakable items out on tables
