Parrot on a PorchA Journey Toward the Little Mansion Dream

One of LM’s three bedrooms is already reserved for Asher. We’ll let him sleep though in his own room come the time when he’s capable to do so perhaps in three years time or more. But as it is, the second room will be decorated and designed child-friendly.

Here are some guidelines for parents in making a childproof bedroom:

1. Use childproofing devices such as corner cushions, plug and outlet covers, cabinet slide locks, toddler gates and finger pinch guards to ensure safety.

2. Check all materials used in furnishing, painting, and decorating your child’s room for hazardous substances such as lead, splinters, etc .

3. Paint. Use eco-friendly paints. Be sure to get rid of awful odor of a newly painted wall before letting your child come in or stay inside the room The odor can irritate your child’s sense of smell.

4. Flooring. Carpeted, wood flooring, area rugs or rubber mats: it actually depends on the parents but do know that each has its pros and cons. Carpeted floors may cushion a child’s fall but may harbor bacteria that cause respiratory problems in kids like common colds.

5. Walls. Do not hang any decor in a baby or toddler’s bedroom because these may fall on him.

6. Window treatments. Allow natural light into your baby’s room. Blinds cords must use use cord shorteners. Curtain’s length must be kept short to keep your little one’s playful fingers from tugging at them. Be sure to change frequently cloth curtains as these can harbor dusts and other allergens.
