Does the smell of the bed pose a health risk to babies?

Patient's question:

Doctor. My baby is four and a half months old. This morning I took off the plastic protective film from my bedside. The bed was bought over a year ago, but the protective film was just removed this morning. It smells a bit. My baby's crib is right next to our big bed. Will it affect him?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described, this is mainly the smell of furniture that is not leaking rainwater, rotting, and moldy, and it may also contain formaldehyde and other substances. In this case, it is necessary to keep the room well-ventilated and urgently evacuate the toxic and harmful air. However, the concentration of this gas is relatively low, and through emergency air evacuation, short-term exposure will have little impact on the baby. It is best to keep the baby away from this environment for about a week. The above is the suggestion for the question "Does the smell of the bed affect the baby?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
