Why is it bad to have a plant in the bedroom with a baby?
Answers:
I think people are a bit ridiculous these days when it comes to babies. In the US, they recommend you get rid of any cats, sometimes pets altogether; in Britain there was a scare about possible harmful effects of plastic bottles. Years ago, it was recommended that babies be placed on there fronts, now its supposed to be on their backs. They used to recommend swaddling babies, now they recommend loose covers or none at all. Are they too cold? too hot? Blimey! Babies are still human beings and are actually a lot more sturdy than people give them credit for.
Overcleanliness has actually led to a huge increase in infant allergies.
My recommendation is not to be too anal when it comes to babies.
The thing about houseplants is nothing to do with oxygen depletion, its just they need to be out of a baby's reach because some are poisonous.
it might turn into the "Day of the triffids" and eat the baby..
takes up the oxygen in the air.i think
its not but take it out at night sukes the oxygen at night
no
IT ISNT
don't plants produce oxygen.?
Who said it's bad?
I suppose it depends on wheather it can harm the baby. You would not put a prickly cactus in a room with a baby. But a normal window plant or something cant do any harm.
although plants give out oxygen in days time they give out carbon dioxide in the night which can harm your babys health..
i think ur speaking about when a baby/child can crawl and or start to walk...then yes they will put everthing in their mouths.and the leaves and dirt and such can cause harm, but as far as an infant, cant see where that could hurt them...
it might turn into Audrey from little shop of horrors!
its not harmful, its an old wives tale. the amount of carbon dioxide a plant gives out is tiny and too small to worry about.
many plants are poisonous (avoid any with shiny leaves, white sap or hairy leaves and you be fine) but only if you eat them.
with flowers the baby may be allergic to the pollen.
Hmm, that's another route to suffocation. The plant shares the oxygen at night. But at the daytime the plant can stay. But I don't think a single plant will be harmful.
