Baby and paint fumes.

[delphmoon]

Not sure if this is the right thread to post in but anyway.....

The landlords are painting ALL of the inside of the house. I am concerned about the fumes and DD health...The landlord laughed at me for 'moving out' for 5 days when they painted the kitchen and loungeroom a month ago. Now they are ready to paint the remainder of the house including DD's bedroom.

Now I'm unsure if I am being silly about it all. Besides being unpleasant to smell is there any actual health problem with paint fumes and babies? Would you stay in the house regardless of the fumes? I am interested to her your thoughts

Thanks

Maybe more people online now to read it?

Mmmm I don't think it's healthy to "breathe" them in... like the fresh out of the tin breathe... but I don't think that the "aroma/smell" after drying is too much of an issue??? We painted our house recently and it was smelly for a few days but not to the point where I think we were breathing the fumes once the painting was done though.
