Crib bumper pads?

Question

I've heard many opinions on both sides of this question. I just wanted to know what other moms are doing because I have yet to decide!

Answer

I'm using mesh bumpers just so he can't stick his little hands and fee out. Absolutely not solid ones as they're a suffocation hazard when the baby is able to roll. Same reason any pediatrician will tell you not to fill your crib with pillows and blankets.

Answer

I have a mini crib. So have yet to find anything that fits!!

Answer

I also went with a mesh bumper. It keeps him from getting his feet and hands stuck now that he can roll over and kick his little feet up on the crib. My 6 month tends to sleep right up next to the sides of his crib, so he can still get air flow but stay safe!

Answer

We aren't doing one. Our set doesn't come with one (can buy it separately) but we won't spend the money on it. Guess we will see about a mesh one later.

Answer

I wasn't sure what to do either. We took a Baby and Me class offered by the hospital that we'll be delivering at and the nurse who taught the class said no bumpers. So we decided to pass.
