My daughter mastered climbing the stairs a few months back, but to be honest it wasn’t a major worry, as she seemed to only want to attempt it if Mum or Dad was right behind her – reassuring.
Safe in the 
knowledge that she wasn’t going to go it alone, we’ve held off on the stairgates, considering them an unnecessary and ugly intrusion into our 2-bed duplex apartment.
That was then, and this is now. Today I blinked and my daughter was off on all fours like a rocket down the hallway and went straight for the stairs. She was on step three before I had reached her – terrifying!
Now we can’t take her eyes off her, and we’ll probably have to bit the bullet and get stair gates.
Like all sudden baby needs that pop up with a sense of urgency, I’ll most likely head straight to Amazon to find something suitable. I like the Baby Dan range because I am using their Baby Den and found the quality good, but not familiar with the baby gates range.
No doubt I’ll be an expert by the end of the week – and if you have any personal experience in this area please post your tips in the comments section!
