Painting a baby's cot?

[McBain]

I would say any type of paint spec if you piant it now and if your new baby is not here for another we while then paint smell will relax. AS for baby bitting it you can buy these plastic strips to put on for stoping them bitting it.

Good luck with whatever you decied to do and baby coming.

does this calcium also build the child's mandibles to produce the force needed to bite through timber and make it splinter?

See your up to you usual games elrobbo, trying to cause arguments.
Dec has made a valid and constructive post.

That paint is a disgusting price and TBH its probably taking advantage of a parents paranoia, i'd be more inclined towards mythic

I have been looking into toys paints too and both Mythic and Ecos come to the same price for 1 litre including postage (Mythic only £1 cheaper; that is if Ecos were to use RM instead of DHL and if you select Ecos interior wood paint instead of the nursery one NB all their paints comply with EN71) There might be a cost difference for higher quantities though.

thanks for the heads up re EN71

I notice that Little Green eggshells are EN71 and I guess much cheaper

With regard to the extent to which paint makers are playing on the fears of parents- I have no idea how true that is but if I were painting a cot I would want to do my utmost to ensure that I did not do anything that might contribute to infant sudden death syndrome.

Mind you, the matress and television in the corner are pumping out free radicals...

Thanks for your post too. You are right. Little green is cheaper and their Intelligent eggshell is even EN71:3 compliant which is specifically good for children's environment and toys just like Ecos's Nursery paint. Cool...

Well around if not over 2000 babies in the UK each year are born with teeth, the Medics in their wisdom say that it is due to a high intake of calcium taken during pregnancy.

rubbish, the bit about the teeth and calcium,any excess calcium goes to the bones or gets peesed out, in my days.
