Paint is OK, if you have to prime the walls get a water based primer. Primer like kilz is oil based, that's what has the lead in it and is dangerous.

Most paint now is not bad for you. Just keep ventilated and you'll be fine you can ask at the paint Store as well for the safest paint with the least fumes.
