I didn't do this with LO's new mattresses for the grandmothers' houses..she just slept on them. Hope nothing bad happened. One had a "green guard" thing though.. eek. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-crib-mattress-toxins#post-764121 Mon, 06 May 2013 16:33:41 +0000 wheres_c 764121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PrincessBaby: yeah :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-crib-mattress-toxins#post-763731 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:06:18 +0000 PrincessBaby 763731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wheres_c: @TurtleDoves: Just a regular crib sheet? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-crib-mattress-toxins#post-763557 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:02:17 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 763557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd sun it out on the patio (lay it on a sheet?) for a few hours and then put a sheet over it. I opened ours at about 7m pregnant and laid it into the crib and then covered it with a sheet the week if my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-crib-mattress-toxins#post-763551 Mon, 06 May 2013 12:59:52 +0000 wheres_c 763551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have a sheet? I would let it air out during the day and then cover it with a sheet and not worry too much about it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-crib-mattress-toxins#post-763544 Mon, 06 May 2013 12:56:18 +0000 PrincessBaby 763544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're staying at my parents and the crib my mom has set up has a soft mattress which obvs freaks me out, as I am paranoid about SIDS. It's a hand me down and I guess is just worn out. DD will roll over and plant her face down in the mattress &amp; her face sinks down (i've had about 3 mins of sleep bc of this little trick). So I went to WalMart and bought a new mattress to make it safer. But what about toxins? Can I unwrap the plastic and let her sleep on it tonight? Without airing it out? </p>
