How do you store/organize cords when you have young crawling babies?

This wasn't an issue with my first but it is with my second

We tried to just have them hidden. Outta sight outta mind worked quite well lol like the TV’s cords where all hidden behind the tv and entertainment cabinet. The WiFi router is in its own hidden side table cabinet (that we removed the door knob from) with the cord hidden between the wall and the cabinet itself. Theres also a spot where I’ve taped cords as flat down as I could get them to make them appear basically invisible to a baby who doesn’t know it’s there ^^ the key with that one is you can’t let them watch you do it lmfao ^^

All of the above. Depending on where it is and what baby is attracted to, we just dealt with it as needed. Upstairs, where her bedroom and playroom are and she may play unsupervised in the future, all the outlets have covers or boxes and the cords are hidden or protected or both. Downstairs, there are only a couple of places that are really a concern and we were able to just adjust what was plugged in there and apply socket protectors. Same for kitchen drawers and cabinets, anything she can reach that has something dangerous is locked, and she has her own drawer in the kitchen full of toys to keep her entertained and out of the other drawers.

I put furniture in front of it. Its not worth the risk and my toddler has been a master of defeating baby proofing since he was small. He took the baseboards off my walls at 6 months. I didn't even know you could do that. My youngest is much more chill and simpler methods would probably work.
