Second Hand Baby Matress Preparation

[~clover~]

I did get DS's new mattress at Kmart. $50 for foam, $100 for innerspring. Full prices.

I agree about getting new one - especially if you are concerned abou tmites etc. I actually didn;t know you had to swap between 1st and 2nd babies but it's up to you. If it's well protected it should be okay but I woudl be buying new one.

I got a 2nd hand cot and mattress from friends, it was not used heaps as both their kids co-slept most of the time but I just gave it a good wipe over as it was practically brand new. I guess if you dont know how much it has been used etc then perhaps get a new one for peace of mind, but if its come from a clean home etc and you are comfortable then give it a vacumm and wipe over and go for it

Thanks everyone so much for your replies. After speaking to DH we have decided that it is best to buy a new mattress. So hopefully we will get one next weekend.
