Parents of multiples need to be extra vigilant and perform twin proofing  of their home. This is because twins  have  a way of giving each other ideas.  Twins  help each other to get into restricted areas that one baby alone could not have ventured by himself.

Some ideas to help you with twinproofing ?

• get doorknob covers
• use safety gates for the top and bottom of staircases
• cover electric outlet
• set hot water so that the water coming out of the faucet is no more than 120°F to reduce the risk of scald burns
• keep all nursery furniture far away from windows to prevent falls . It also prevents children  from getting caught in hanging  window blind cords and draperies
• secure dressers and bookshelves to the wall with anti-tip devices

However you have to know that  even the best childproofing gadget is no match for direct supervision. Just because your house is childproof with all right equipments doesnt mean you should relax and feel a sense of security. Dangerous things can still happen. Certain household features are difficult to twinproof and require parents to be vigilant and watchful. Even a simple  door can be dangerous.
