Air Purifier Systems for Healthy Babies
You want your baby to be comfortable, but many parents are not aware that mattresses have a health factor associated with them. Organic mattresses do not contain harsh chemicals and synthetic materials so your newborn is not inhaling these toxins while they sleep.
Replace Harsh Cleaners
Many cleaning products have harsh chemicals and pollutants in them that make them strong and effective. If adults are bothered by the strong odor associated with these products, won’t your baby be, too? Keeping your newborn’s nursery clean and free of germs is vital. However, it is wise to invest in all-natural cleaning products and use them for your child’s room.
Avoid Toxic Paint
While all parents want to make sure their newborn’s room is cozy and well-decorated, using the wrong kind of paint over a period of time can cause serious health complications. It is best to opt for a paint marked “VOC-free,” meaning “volatile organic compound free.” By using this paint, your baby won’t be inhaling toxic fumes while he or she sleeps. This is especially important if he or she enjoys “tummy time” or is learning to crawl.
Remove Your Shoes
Floors and carpets are one of the dirtiest places in a home. Dust, mold, and allergens can all be tracked in on the soles of shoes, so make it a habit to remove them the second you walk in the door. Insist that guests do the same. This is especially important if baby enjoys “tummy time” or is learning to crawl.
Purchase a HEPA Air Purifier
Still, following all the precautions above will not completely ensure a healthy environment for your baby. Air conditioners and humidifiers can be purchased to use in your infant’s room, but these only mask the impurities in the air and do not eliminate them completely. Only a well-designed HEPA air purifier can provide many health benefits as well as promote allergy and asthma relief.
Remove Contaminants Completely
Even dusting, vacuuming, and sweeping regularly will not eliminate the pollutants in your baby’s bedroom. Since these contaminants are invisible to the naked eye, even if the room looks spotless there are still many toxins present.
