having damp in bed room is bad thing. if you are maintaining the proper cleanliness in the floor and other wall parts than you should not worry for it. but if you are not maintaining cleanliness than there is probelm. again having damp in the bedroom may cause the wooden part of your room to be grown by fungus. this fungus may be some type of mushroom or aspergillus. this fungus have spores which may be inhaled by us. you have baby which may inhale that spore. so having damp in your room is not good indication for your health.
