Old Toys and Lead Contamination

My mother in law has saved all of my husband's old toys from 40 years ago and wants to pull them out for my 20 month old to play with them. He still occassionally puts toys in his mouth too. Most recently, she's suggested old match box and hot wheels cars. How can I learn more about whether these old tosy may contain lead based paint? I'm trying to be cautious so that I gather the info without hurting her feelings needlessly.

Need Help Putting Child in Her Own BED

I need advise on putting my almost 4 year old daughter in her own bed. I know this is bad but my daughter has slept with me her entire life. I know I need to put her in her own bed but I'm scared! I would like an easy transition for her and me. I just started reading 123 Magic and their idea looks great but it may take a while for it to work. PLEASE HELP! I know this is all my fault and i really need to let go. thanks
