Cot bumper debate

Ch

So everywhere I’ve read says to NOT use a cot bumper—including the “breathable” bumpers, because of risk of suffocating.

But I have a friend who is adamant that babies need bumpers to stop there limbs from getting caught between the bars and breaking an arm or a leg.

I really don’t want my baby to get hurt but suffocating is obviously worse. What’s the risk here?

What does everyone advise?
