Is behr paint safe for pregnant women and newborns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best to hold off: Every paint has organic solvents that evaporate into the air. I am not aware of any studies on this topic. Since we really don't know the answer and there is no reason to expose pregnant women & newborns to this-i would hold off on painting for awhil, or keep away from the fumes for 1-2 days and let the place air out.
