    Painting/Staining a Cot?

    We have a cot that we want to try sand back and either paint or stain, am just wondering what we could use that would be safe for the baby? Any ideas would be great, thanks!

    Hey!

    I'll ask my DH tonight for you (he's a cabinet maker) and will either post tonight or tomorrow morning with his answer.

    How are things going with you?

    Hello lovely ladies!

    Spoke to DH last night. He said he's never heard of anything about baby safe stains and varnishes. He said he'd definitely laquor/varnish over the stain if you do stain it. Not just stain it though, as stains can leach and that would be the only problem that he could see.

    HTH

    Thought I'd add a bit of a scan update in for you. Had my scan yesterday. They did a bit of 4D scanning. It was really cool watching the heart but the face in 4D was a bit creepy. After seeing it I'm convince I was abducted in October and will be giving birth to a lizard like alien
    In all seriousness though, I personally thought the 3D scan of the face was heaps better then the 4D. Just my own personal opinion though
