Safety Precautions For Your Baby Nursery
When anticipating the arrival of your little bundle of joy, many things need to be done. Often people turn to friends and family for help in collecting things for the new addition. Some may be borrowed while others might be brand new. Occasionally you might feel that a borrowed item is not as good as something new, however if it does not harm the safety of your child there is nothing wrong with using a used item.
You can begin by cleaning out that storage room, spare guest bedroom or whatever function it may have originally served. You may wish to consider what type of paint that you are using. A paint containing Volatile Organic Compounds or VOC may cause numerous health related risks. Among them are asthma and respiratory problems, eye irritation, nausea and dizziness. After quite a while, more serious health concerns may arise. So when you are selecting the perfect color keep in mind the result that a VOC paint might have on your baby.
Watch out for painted woods or plastics, the paint can be filled with toxic deadly leads. When choosing a crib, look for convertible crib natural woods are a better solution to the painted variety. Another item you will wish to consider is the spacing between the slats in the railing. The railing should have a distance of 2 3/8 inches apart. If your crib has a wider railing it should not be used at all. Infants can easily get their heads caught in a wider railing and choke to death.
Select a mattress that is flat and firm. A soft, cushy mattress could be fatal to your infant as it could cause suffocation. While you might be concerned about your infants comfort, let me assure you that the infant will be just as comfortable on a firmer mattress. When placing the mattress into its crib, check to make sure there is no more than one inch between the mattress and the crib.
Many a bedding collection for cribs come with bumper pads. If you decide to use the bumper pads, you will need to ensure that they will run the full perimeter of the crib. Make sure there is no extra fabric and have no little than six ties spaced to place one at each corner and one on each side. Ensure that there is no crinkling plastic on the bumper pads and that all the materials used is fabrics.
Often designer baby bedding is created so that the sheets fit snug up against the mattress. Often people will put a large toy or pillows in with the baby, however this is not safe for the infant. Large toys can become climbing aids and result in falls, or like pillows it may become a suffocation hazard.
As your child ages you will want to remove the bumper pads, mobiles and crib gyms. Likewise lowering the height of this crib is a necessity to keep your baby from falling. Taking these safety precautions will keep your baby safe.
