Part of the fun and excitement of planning for a new baby is decorating the nursery. Picking out the furniture, wall color, decor and of course the bedding for the crib make it all seem real. \u00a0With the controversy over the safety of crib bumpers, some new parents feel it is safer not to use them. \u00a0Even though they feel it’s safer without the bumpers, not many could deny, the cribs look empty without them. \u00a0Some\u00a0bumper alternatives\u00a0look strange and are not available with any\u00a0coordinating bedding.<\/p>\n

If you can relate to this, I want to share\u00a0good news about the\u00a0Fresh Air Crib Liner \u2122\u00a0by SootheTIME, part of the\u00a0Just Born<\/a>\u00a0family. This crib bumper alternative is adjustable and fits most cribs with a mesh liner that locks in place and provides fresh airflow for baby.<\/p>\n

Some other great tips for creating a safe and healthy nursery are to skip composite wood furniture because it\u00a0contains formaldehyde, solid wood is the safer choice. \u00a0Organic crib mattresses\u00a0are a safe sleeping option, but if you have a conventional mattress, you can cover it with a cover not made of PVC.<\/p>\n

If you are painting baby’s walls opt for a zero VOC paint and paint as far in advance of baby coming home as possible so there is ample time to thoroughly air out the room. It’s best to go with a bare flooring like bamboo or cork \u00a0over carpet and make sure that you do not use products that are treated with Microban because it\u00a0contains the chemical toxin triclosan.<\/p>\n

If you’re using area rugs, washable rugs are best and if you do have carpet, vacuum often using a vacuum equipped with a hepa filter. \u00a0For accent decor and toys make sure that you are decorating with safe items. \u00a0Those vintage finds may look nice but what’s lurking in them? \u00a0Avoid using or buying anything containing\u00a0BPA, Phthalates, PVC, Latex, Lead, and Flame Retardants.<\/span><\/p>\n

With some careful planning you can create a nursery that’s safe and inviting for your new addition.<\/p>\n
