he's crawling properly now and pulling up on everything. the shop list online is endless. corner guards, socket covers, cupboard locks, fridge lock, toilet lock. rented flat so i don't want to drill what did you buy that got used, and what was a waste

    From memory, so take it with that caveat: the corner guards came off within a week. What really mattered was moving things higher and a gate at the kitchen door. Socket covers were useful. Most of the rest we never used.

      The kitchen gate is the one I would keep too. Ours was a pressure-fit one, so no drilling, which matters in a rented place. We also tied up the curtain cords. That was the thing we only noticed once she was standing.
