Baby is pulling to stand and falling. What do I need??

Recommendations

I thought I had waaaayyyy more time but my 6 month old tried pulling to stand like all day today. It was exciting and great, until she slipped and fell and hit her head. She’s okay, just a small bump and a bunch of tears, but it really scared me. We have hardwood floors.

So I ask, what should I do to babyproof the floor? Do I get like those foam tiles that click together? Do I get a soft memory foam matt?

And I’m thinking about getting her a push walker, is there anything else I should be getting to help her safely start to stand?
