How Healthy Is Your Bedroom? Crib Mattresses, Bedding & Hidden Chemicals

from The Pediatrician Next Door - Simple Advice on Parenting and Family Health · host Redd Rock Music

Are toxic chemicals surrounding your baby while they sleep? Babies and kids spend thousands of hours breathing inches from their mattress, bedding, carpet, and furniture, yet most of us rarely think about what those products are made of.  Mattress expert Arin Schultz explains the science behind chemicals in mattresses and nursery products, what “off-gassing” means, and why certifications can be confusing. We talk about breathability, mold, organic bedding, furniture materials, and the question more families are starting to ask: how healthy is our home?  Learn more at Naturepedic and read the Mattress and Bedding 101 blog.        Send your questions to [email protected] or message me online here.  Find products from the show on the shop page.   *As an Amazon Associate, I earn commission from qualifying purchases.    More from The Pediatrician Next Door:    Website: Pediatrician Next Door Podcast  Instagram: @the_pediatrician_next_door  Facebook: facebook.com/wendy.l.hunter.75  TikTok: @drwendyhunter  LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/drwendyhunter    This is a Redd Rock Music Podcast  IG: @reddrockmusic  www.reddrockmusic.com Learn more about your ad choices.
