Is it safe to paint our walls with a one year old home?

Usually: The latex paints commonly used indoors are low odor and free from volatile carbons that irritate most folks. Some still use the oil based paints for the outside of homes and these have irritating volatile odors/carbon emissions.As long as you are using latex paints, you could do so with the kid watching you work. If you find the new paint odors irritating, send the kid to a sitter until they clear.
