Biting off Paint Chips on Crib
Asked by K.C. from Chicago
on December 17, 2008

Answers
- Wherever you got the crib from, find out if it's toxic and if they carry plastic snapon protectors. They may give you the manufacturers number.

- I am guessing he is biting the crib rail. You can buy rail guards at Babies R Us. Paint on cribs is not allowed to have any lead in it so it should be safe but you c...
