It all sounds blissful.<br /><br />Our approach to childproofing has been that it's impossible to completely childproof our house. We chose one room to make entirely Asa's (we sacrificed the dining room for this purpose and moved the table and chairs into our living room.) We gated the room, covered the sockets, and laid down some foam mats when he was a wriggling infant. As he grew, we made modifications, added some bigger play pieces, blocked a low window that he could potentially break (ok, ok, I lied. He broke a pane and then I blocked it. Oops.) The goal was to have a safe space that we could leave him in and feel completely confident he was safe. Any time he was out of this room, he was supervised. If a room's not feasible, I recommend a large play yard.<br /><br />I've only seen gates for stairs. I can't imagine how else you could make them safe. I've seen some pretty creative ways to get gates mounted at staircases, though, if attaching the hardware is the problem.<br /><br />Enjoy that precious girl. That picture is wonderful.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013692905675611870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-36865213062037087222014-05-18T07:25:47.830+05:302014-05-18T07:25:47.830+05:30She is absolutely beautiful...definitely looks old...She is absolutely beautiful...definitely looks older than her age - I thought that when you posted her first picture too.

Ellie was pounding down the same amount of food based on her body weight and we were a little concerned about it, but I think a baby's appetite should always be your guide. So don't worry. If she's eating too much, she'll let you know by puking in your face.Danahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11692756074193193644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-29439416280553679192014-05-17T06:25:06.706+05:302014-05-17T06:25:06.706+05:30She is so cute and alert!

I can't believe she's already a month old - where did the time go??<br /><br />Producing a lot of wet diapers and gaining a little over an ounce a day sounds perfect, so I would definitely keep doing what you're doing. It doesn't sound like there's any need to change things or cut back.<br /><br />I don't have any great ideas for the stairs. I hope you're able to find a solution for that.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09564075022074996137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-85503639901275684382014-05-16T08:37:56.553+05:302014-05-16T08:37:56.553+05:30she is so beautiful! enjoy enjoy enjoy! it goes wa...she is so beautiful! enjoy enjoy enjoy! it goes way too quick.Simonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06638922135275967853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-57644621261583551.post-60332720270231582672014-05-16T08:14:47.233+05:302014-05-16T08:14:47.233+05:30It sounds like things have settled a little and yo...It sounds like things have settled a little and you're not sick anymore.

Have you thought of trying to produce your own milk supply? - though I know Goat milk is also fabulous.
