It is better to NEVER place the baby’s crib near mounted decorative accessories, long cords, near windows, draperies or blinds. These items will shortly be in the child’s crib as they explore their surroundings.
It is also good to make sure that there are no improperly installed screws, brackets or other hardware on the crib or mattress support. We should also make sure that there are no missing, loose or broken parts on the crib. We should check the crib from time to time to make sure that everything is still intact as it should be.
A concern for all parents is when they are ready to purchase baby furniture to make sure that the furniture will not be toxic to their baby or child. In some cases furniture is coated with chemicals to preserve and that makes it more likely that kids come into contact with poison.
Furniture made primarily of solid wood is best for kids. Composites like plywood and particleboard are made using glues that contain formaldehyde. As plywood and particleboard become worn the formaldehyde in the glue is slowly emitted in vapors.
