I was surfing the web this morning and came across a website on organic baby mattresses which spawned this post. If you are on the look-out for a mattress and have the extra money to spend consider purchasing an organic or cotton mattress. They have lower emissions and are healthier for your baby. But the serious drawback is the $$$. Check out this site for more information.
If you can’t afford (or just plain don’t want to afford) this type of mattress consider purchasing the mattress before your bundle arrives and letting it emit in the babies room all by it’s lonesome. The price of these specialty mattresses were out of my league so I made sure to buy a regular one while Anthony was still sleeping in his bassinet in our room and let everything air out in his. And trust me - the mattress and his crib did stink! It took probably 3 or 4 days before you could walk in there without getting knocked over by the smell. I just left the window open and let the smells drift away on the breeze after that.
