Looking for advice from mommas with toddlers and older-
Mowgli climbed into his playpen for the first time ever a couple days ago! It's really neat to see because the bed is by his playpen which he used for leverage and daddy helped him make sure he didn't hurt himself when he front flipped into his playpen 😅😂
He tries climbing out but isnt there yet. I also make sure we don't have any big stuffed animals or pillow is he can use as a step ladder 😅
But what do I do to help keep him contained and entertained once he can no longer use his playpen?
Most of downstairs is baby proofed but I still wouldn't trust him to roam around on his own if I had to step outside (which I do frequently). Usually ai just pop him in his playpen....
A baby monitor would only tell me what's happening when is happening it won't actually help me keep him from getting into something somehow... ( we've lived in extremely tight quarters so I have not needed a baby monitor yet and he's already 18 months)... when I'm doing basic chores like laundry or dishes he's fine roaming around and I have no problem stopping what I'm doing to redirect him. But what about the other times I need him in something?
What do you mommas use to keep little explorers safe when you're not right under them?
