Do a daily floor sweep for small objects. Cut food into small pieces (no larger than 1/2 inch). Avoid round, hard foods like whole grapes, hot dogs, and popcorn.
Baby is starting to pull up on furniture. Unsecured furniture, tablecloths, and items on table edges become dangerous as baby can pull things down on themselves.

Secure heavy furniture to walls with anti-tip anchors. Remove tablecloths. Keep hot drinks and heavy objects away from table edges.
Baby may become very upset around unfamiliar people, even relatives they haven't seen recently. This is a healthy developmental sign, not a behavioral problem.

Give baby time to warm up to new people. Don't force interactions. Let baby observe from your arms before approaching others.
