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 & 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?

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.

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.

@wheres_c: @TurtleDoves: Just a regular crib sheet?

@PrincessBaby: yeah

Oh crap. 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.
