what should i do when my twin girls start to crawl and walk (tile floors)?
i have tile floors everywhere in my house except the bedrooms. i have a 8x10 foot rug for them to play on now, but i know that they will be getting around much better in the near future and will be able to get off of it onto the tile. i'm scared that it will hurt their knees when they crawl and i'm terrified they will fall when they start to walk. please give me some ideas on how i can keep them safe. thanks!
We worried about the same thing - we have all hardwood and tile in the kitchen/bathroom. Initially Elyse was "afraid" to leave the area rug, something about the change made her just sit back down. Eventually she started leaving the rug but had trouble crawling because she would slip and slide around. A few times she banged her head but was just fine. Eventually, in about 2 weeks, she was crawling on the hardwood just fine and no more bumps. Now I wish I could contain her to a rug! lol!
Just beware that you can't protect them from everything, little bumps and bruises will happen - usually it scares you more then them! Their little knees have so much padding, they'll be just fine.
