K so my babys room is goin to be farily simple.. White walls... Ive gotten really nice pictures of biplanes ( old airplanes) in blue yellow, and red... So there will be nice color but nothing bombarding.. The bedding is red though.. someone told me red is a bad color to have in a babys room.. Is this true??

No i would not think so. red is a exciting color and it you would cant calming colors mabey green or blue or aqua or purple.

When I was taking a child development class I learned that red actually stimulates infant learning. So if you were to read to a newborn you should place something red in front of them. Also, my teacher said that a baby 's mobile on the crib should be red and black, they are the very few colors a newborn can actually see. I don 't see why that would be a bad thing? Congrats!

The only problem I see is that red tends to run/ fade the more often you wash it. They wouldn 't make baby bedding in red if it was somehow harmful to your child.

I think they say that because red is a stimulating color, and one of the first babies can see, and you don 't want them to be stimulated in their cribs... you want them to be sleeping! :)

Personally i wouldn 't do red bedding bc it tends to be stimulating and you want it peaceful, easy to go to sleep in and not stimulating...make sense? if u really like it, since u already have it, u could try it; but i prefer lighter, softer looking nurseries, they just seem more peaceful ..jmho
