Sadly, most cribs on the market today are\u00a0made of engineered woods like MDF and particleboard that contain formaldehyde and VOC-laden\u00a0finishes. With newborns typically spending up to 16 hours a day sleeping, shopping for a safe crib is\u00a0essential.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What Should You Look For?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Eco-friendly cribs can be found online and in major stores. When shopping for a crib, look for one that\u2019s:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Made of solid hardwood like maple<\/li>\n<li>Finished with non-toxic finishes<\/li>\n<li>Held together with non-toxic glues<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Styles to Meet Every Taste<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Green doesn\u2019t have to mean ugly unfinished wood swimming in beige.
