Is it okay to have a baby bed without paint? The wood will easily become soft and rot.

No, without the protection of paint, the wood will be isolated from oxygen and moisture in the air, which will corrode the wood. Over time, the wood will easily become soft and rot, greatly reducing its service life. It is also easy to form thorns and cut baby's fingers.

No, the wood will become soft and rot easily. This is a misunderstanding of most people. We often see or learn about various paint-free baby beds in multiple channels, and think that the absence of paint spraying will have no effect on the health of the child. However, the paint-free baby bed itself has no protection. If used for a long time, it is very likely that some damage will occur to the wood itself, such as softening and rotting. In fact, as long as you choose a baby bed from a regular manufacturer, the paint they use meets national standards and has no effect on the baby's body.

1. Advantages

When choosing a paint-free crib, you should choose a green and environmentally friendly solid wood material with a paint-free bed body, because this can prevent chemical ingredients from harming the baby's delicate skin from the most basic aspect, and chemical ingredients will also volatilize some toxic gases, which will damage the respiratory system when the baby inhales them while lying on the bed. In addition, many babies will chew their beds after growing teeth. If the crib is compressed with wood powder and chemical preparations, it will cause direct harm to the baby's body and enter the body through the mouth. The harm is greater and more difficult to recover than sleeping on a bed containing chemicals. Buy a crib made of paint-free logs, because it has no smell, is more environmentally friendly, and is safer.

2. Disadvantages

Although paint-free cribs have many advantages, most experts recommend buying cribs with environmentally friendly paints, and cribs for export need to be painted. The EU and other countries do not allow the import of pure paint-free log cribs. If the paint meets environmental standards, you can choose it with more confidence, especially those famous brands or paint cribs that meet the standards are highly praised by infant experts. Why is this? It turns out that the wood of unpainted cribs is mostly rough, and burrs will remain on the surface. Moreover, after long-term use, the bare logs are more susceptible to hand sweat and stains, and the surface is more susceptible to bacteria. Solid wood unpainted beds are difficult to maintain, cannot be exposed to the sun, and cannot be dusted with a wet rag. In winter, it is easy to get damp and mold. In this way, the hygiene and safety of solid wood unpainted cribs are compromised.

3. Summary

Paint-free cribs are not really suitable for delicate babies, especially those who have just been born and have low immunity. If your baby is older and stronger, and you really like paint-free cribs, you can choose it. However, paint-free cribs are more susceptible to hand sweat and stains after long-term use, and the surface is more susceptible to bacteria, which is not good for health.

Many baby beds are made of wood and need to be painted to protect the wood and provide decoration. Whether it is oil-based paint or environmentally friendly paint, the harmful substances in it are very few after a long period of storage. There are also those painted with wood wax oil, which is natural and environmentally friendly. You can ask the merchant when buying, but they are just distributors, not manufacturers, and they may not know whether it is painted or not. You can smell the bed to see if there is any irritating odor. Baby beds painted with environmentally friendly paint and wood wax oil are the first choice.

1. Mold: When babies drink water, urinate, or spit up milk, it is easy for the water to get on the crib. Wood that has not been treated on the surface is very easy to absorb moisture. Wood that has been exposed to moisture for a long time will inevitably grow mold. Dry wood is also easy to absorb moisture in the air. The rainy season in the south is also a high-incidence season for wood to grow mold. Mold will enter the body through the baby's breathing, which may affect sleep at the least and cause pneumonia at the worst.

2. Cracks: If the surface of the wood is not treated after cutting, it will crack as the internal moisture evaporates. This is the nature of wood. If the crib is cracked, it is very easy to pinch the baby's fingers or cause scratches. If the stress-bearing parts of the crib are cracked, it may cause the bed board to collapse, which is extremely dangerous.

3. Dust: The polished wood surface will be sticky with a lot of dust. During use, this dust will enter the baby's respiratory system with the baby's breathing. Long-term accumulation can easily cause pneumonia. Test: Take a piece of the newly bought log crib to a room with sunlight, blow on the bed board, and you can see a lot of dust flying;

4. Burrs: Even after polishing, the wooden surface of an unpainted crib will still have many burrs. Although it feels smooth to the touch with our adult hands, the tiny burrs can easily hurt the baby's delicate skin, and you don't know why the baby is crying. We need a magnifying glass to see these tiny burrs.
