68. Is it safe to use bedding in baby's crib?
The American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission have made
recommendations for safe bedding practices for babies. When putting infants under 12 months to sleep,
remove pillows, quilts, comforters and other soft items from the crib. For further information you may contact
the CPSC at www.cpsc.gov or contact your pediatrician.
69. What can you do as a parent to prevent toxic exposure on your children’s bedding?
Typical new mattresses stuffed with conventional polyurethane foam contain pesticides, formaldehyde, and
other chemical combinations, emitting harmful compounds that are absorbed into the skin and lungs.
Switching to organic bedding possibly can be the best solution. Organic bedding consists of natural rubber,
organic cotton and organic wool free of carcinogenic chemicals. It also provides pure natural sleep.
As babies spend most of their hours sleeping, organic bedding is the most important part of a natural nursery.
Sleeping on organic bedding may reduce health problems such as asthma or allergies or SIDS.
70. How much time do we spend sleeping?
We spend about a third of our lives sleeping, exposed to the chemical contents of our bedding, inhaling and
absorbing them through our skin. Regular pillows, comforters, sheets and mattresses all may contain toxins
and chemicals from pesticides. Pesticides kill fish and other water life, pollute drinking water and leave
remains on the cotton. Would you want to sleep on pesticides or have your children or babies sleeping on
them and breathing them?
