Interior painting, bring DD elsewhere?

So next week we're having about 1/2 the house repainted.. I can probably leave the windows open during the day (in the 50s here) but it will be waaaay too cold at night to do that! I plan on keeping DD out of the house during the day. We should probably sleep somewhere else too right? Too much paint fumes for a baby?? What do you think?

    Can you use the low/no VOC paint? It's more expensive, but safer for a baby. We just painted our bedroom and didn't move DS, but that was just one room.?

    I know when I was pregnant, the paint store said that the paints we selected were "safe". So that is probably the case for you too. I wouldn't go anywhere for the night.

    Try to use a paint that has low/ no volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and you should be fine.

    we just had our entire house painted.  luckily, we had them do the upstairs for 2 of the 4 days while we slept downstairs with the baby.  when they moved downstairs on day 3, we hung out and slept upstairs.

     just open the windows while they are painting and leave them open as long as you can until it gets really cold in the evening.  i think you'll be fine.
