6 errors not to be made in baby's room

Do not dwell on the choice of baby room materials

Aujourd'hui, les matériaux de rénovation et de décoration ne manquent pas pour créer la chambre idéale de Bébé. Mais avec un nourrisson, mieux vaut faire des choix sûrs: on opte pour des peintures et des sols naturels (en pierre, en bois...)) sinon pour ceux étiquetés A+ et écolabellisés (Ecolabel Europpéen, label NF environnement, ou label allemand Der Blaue Engel)). Certains linoléums donnent le change en absorbant et neutralisant les COV (composés organiques volatiles)) ainsi que les produits chimiques. Les moquettes biologiques labellisées GUT sont non toxiques contrairement aux références classiques. Mieux vaut donc prendre le temps de comparer les références entre elles, même si on n'est pas une pro des travaux, avant d'acheter !

Arrange baby's room: unpack the furniture at the last minute

Between the bed, a dresser or a wardrobe to store baby's small things and perhaps an armchair to give you moments of rest or to breastfeed baby, the choice of furniture cannot be improvised all the more since'It is best to install them, at best, several weeks before birth.Fast cause: Most contemporary furniture are designed in agglomerated wood, more commonly called MDF, made up of wood fibers and toxic binders (VOCs, Phthalates, Formaldehydes...)).These new furniture gives off chemicals, sometimes even several months after assembly and can cause allergies and respiratory problems.To limit these risks, it is better to ventilate these furniture immediately after their purchase.At home, even before mounting or installing them in the room, the packaging boxes are opened.Once the furniture is installed, we will leave the windows and open doors of the room to ventilate the room as much as possible.For the moment, there is no regulation concerning the labeling of furniture products likely to emit pollutants in indoor air.The project that was to be born in 2020 was postponed.Business...Solid wood furniture, which is not varnished, are a solution.

Do not ventilate the child's room enough

In winter, it is cold and we quickly opened the windows to keep a pleasant warmth inside the house.Despite everything, whatever the temperature, it is better to ventilate our house for at least ten minutes, including the baby's room, daily in order to evacuate interior pollution.Renewing air also helps to avoid condensation, one of the causes of mold, and not exceed 50% humidity on average in all parts.In addition, in houses as in apartments, it is an obligation for individuals to regularly maintain boilers and heating system, all the more if they operate on gas, by approved professionals. En cas de doute sur la qualité de l'air de votre habitat, vous pouvez faire appel à des spécialistes (les conseillers médicaux en environnement intérieur)) pour établir un diagnostic et résoudre le problème.

Station to electromagnetic waves around baby

They are everywhere but not all are harmful to our health!Natural electromagnetic waves are safe at our vital balance and similarly, low frequencies used in particular for radio is considered at low risk.The electromagnetic waves emitted by smartphones, tablets, computers...are dangerous for health, as many studies have already proven to be (including this study by ANSES)). Il est donc essentiel de protéger les enfants de ces ondes (en éloignant la Box Internet de sa chambre, pour commencer)), ils y sont plus particulièrement exposés.

Choose accessories, comforters and a poorly suited baby mattress

His bed, baby will spend long hours during the first years of his life.He must respect certain rules of hygiene and safety.We prefer to sleep baby on a firm mattress, in good condition, labeled OEKO Tex, anti -ACARRIAN TREATHER, covered with a fitted sheet.To keep baby out of the cold in her bed, the sleeping bag replaces the blanket up to 2 years minimum.The stuffed animals are decorative but they constitute, in particular, very cozy nests for mites.When bedtime, they are removed from bed, as well as fleece accessories such as bodies, bed braids and pillows that can hinder the child's respiratory tract during sleep.And so that our toddler feels good and in perfect safety, we will place his bed in an angle of the room, avoiding placing it under a window and back to the front door of his room.

Leave it on items in the baby's room

La chambre est un espace de sommeil mais pour les plus petits, elle est aussi un vrai terrain de jeux ! Mieux vaut protéger les sols avec des tapis (facilement lavables)) et libérez les espaces des objets pointus et durs sur lesquels Bébé pourraient tomber, ainsi que les fils qui pendouillent ou traînent par terre.
