As a parent, your greatest concern is your child’s safety. Many transform their homes into a baby-proof zone with stair gates and rubber bumpers while unaware that they are neglecting the most important part of creating a safe environment for an infant: a non-toxic nursery. In this article, we will guide you through the process of creating a space, free of chemicals, to ensure your little ones remain happy and healthy.
Things to consider
non-toxic

When picking out furniture, make sure to opt for solid wood. Alternatives like composite board, particle board and MDF use formaldehyde, veneers and toxic glue that release nasty chemicals which do not belong in a child’s room.

Non-VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) paint is also essential to making sure your painted furniture isn't releasing toxic fumes into the air your baby breathes.

Look out for products with a Greenguard certification as this is only given to manufacturers that meet the highest standards of indoor air quality.
