Invest in healthy furnishings: Carpet, especially the newly installed stuff, can emit harmful chemicals from fibers, dyes, backing material, and flame retardants.

I don’t think people realize the huge number of chemicals that go into furnishings. It’s especially important for an infant’s room to be free of toxins.

I only buy organic cotton when possible.  I painted with Baby Safe Finishes paints.  I bought an unfinished crib and finished it with Earth Safe Finishes No VOC Stain and Varnish.  I finally bought an organic mattress that I did not have for my first child.  I feel great about her room!  It is so easy to go that one extra step to ensure a toxin free place for your baby.

Investing in new carpet and area rugs before the arrival of your new baby is a very important preventative step to take when preparing for a baby.
