When is it safe to decorate the nursery?

Ques­tion: When is the best time to paint the nurs­ery? My sis­ter says the fumes could harm the baby if I strip paint in my first trimester?

Answer

Preg­nant women should be banned from the dec­o­rat­ing. Many par­ents want to make their baby’s room safe and beau­ti­ful, they rush around in the last weeks strip­ping wall paper, sand­ing and paint­ing. How­ever,  mums-to-be should stay away dur­ing dec­o­rat­ing because preg­nant women and their fetuses are vul­ner­a­ble to tox­ins from plas­ter, old paint (which may con­tain lead) as well as VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) fumes from new paint.

Avoid Harmful Chemicals with Safe Baby Toiletry Guide

Safe Baby Toiletries GuideMind­ful Mum has researched baby toi­letries labelled organic or ‘nat­ural’ in the UK and pre­sented the results in an easy to read safe baby toi­letry table. Although many man­u­fac­tur­ers label their prod­ucts ‘organic’, the major­ity of baby hygiene prod­ucts are not cer­ti­fied organic by offi­cial cer­ti­fi­ca­tion bod­ies such as the Soil Association.

The com­par­i­son table helps par­ents to check that baby care prod­ucts are ‘cer­ti­fied organic’, safe and free from chem­i­cal ‘nas­ties’ such as Phthaltes, Parabens and Sodium Laureth/Sodium Lau­rel Sulfate (SLS/SLES).

What is Organic?

Organic farm­ing reduces envi­ron­men­tal pol­lu­tion and the release of green­house gases from food pro­duc­tion by severely restrict­ing the use of arti­fi­cial chem­i­cal fer­tilis­ers and pes­ti­cides. Instead, organic farm­ers rely on devel­op­ing a healthy, fer­tile soil and grow­ing a mix­ture of crops.
