A Time of Magic

Once the news of a new baby hits the streets, you’ll find that you’re innundated with a whole heap of offers of both new items and those that have been in the family for generations.

Much as it may sound cute to use the cot that your granny used when she was a baby and various other similar items that have survived the generations of abuse that such things tend to get, you need to consider the safety aspects of things such as crib bedding. It may well be traditional for that particular cot to have been used for generations of your family it’s very unlikely to meet the current safety standards if it’s more than even a few years old and the bedding will be full of all kinds of nasties from previous occupants too.

So do consider the offers but think about whether it’s a good idea to use them rather than accepting them without question.
