Doing a wall mural in babies bedroom, what paints are best to use?

Q. I am doing i Winnie the Pooh wall mural in my babies room. What kind of paints would be best to use? I keep hearing Acrylic paints would be best, but then some say just regular interior wall paint would be fine too.

A. You can use acrylics and/or actual latex wall paint. I do tons of murals and I use house paint. Exterior paint for outside murals and interior for inside murals. I often buy the returned or improperly colored paint from Lowe's and home depot (it's usually very cheap). I tint it with acrylics if needed. Home Depot and Lowe's also sell small cans of bright colors of paint that I use to tint.

What can I put on a wooden cabin bed give it a white effect?
Q. I am expecting a baby and bedroom will be shared, my partners daughter comes to stay every 2 weeks and were have a beech colour cabin bed for her although I have picked white nursery furniture. Don't really want to buy a bed to fit in as she's hardly sleeping here! Any ideas how I could make bed white whit out painting it?? Pls

A. Decorating it with fabric like her bedspread or wrap white ribbon around the bed's legs to 'fool' the eye into thinking it is white. Wrap ribbon so closely or far apart to contrast w/ the wood color. Since she is a girl it is a nice feminine touch also. You might finish it w/ a bow that you tie?

Once a baby is birthed, is it necessary to cut the umbilical cord right away?
Q. I was watching 'I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant' and a woman had her baby on her bedroom floor. She was instructed by the the 911 dispatcher to get a shoe string and cut the umbilical cord.

Would it have been detrimental to the child's health had she waited for the paramedics to arrive so they could do it?

A. Leaving it on for a while will do no harm, some people belive you should leave it until it stops pulsating, so that baby gets all the rest of the nutrients.
When the cord touches the air it starts to dry up.
Baby can breath while still attched to the umbilical cord.
