Is it safe for a baby to live in a house that has just been renovated for over 8 months?

Patient's question:

Doctor, is my little baby living in a house that has just been renovated for over 8 months? Will it be harmful?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, if the materials you used for renovation are safe, then there is no big problem. Otherwise, it is best to let the new house sit for 2-3 years before moving in, otherwise there may be residual formaldehyde that hasn't fully dissipated, which could be harmful to both adults and children. In short, caution is better than cure. Based on your description, it should be fine to live in the new house after six months of ventilation. After moving in, it is still important to ensure daily ventilation. As long as you can guarantee that each room has good air circulation, it will not have any adverse effects on the baby, so there is no need to worry.
