Crib/cradle bumpers?

Question

Who is using them? I keep hearing from the hospital and birthing classes that they don't think you should use them because it increases the chances for SIDS. I have them on the cradle currently but I'm so unsure about it. I just feel like it adds more comfort and protection from the wood rails. 
What are yalls thoughts?

Answer

We just have a pack and play in our room right now,  no crib. But in my opinion they are not worth it in the beginning.  Your baby will not be rolling around in his sleep so it's not like he's going to hit his head on the side, plus the risk or sids is greater with newborn babies.

Answer

A newborn won't move that much or roll over for you to have them on, but I would much rather have baby accidentally bump his head than SIDS. Is not recommended, maybe just wait to put them until 6 months?

Answer

I didn't get the bumpers for my girls crib. I've read too many articles about them. You can has them for decorations and then take them off when the baby sleeps on the crib. Your newborn won't be moving around enough to hit the rails.

Answer

I currently have them in the cradle and have mesh ones in the crib. The ones in the cradle are from when I was a baby and I'm not sure if I'm going to leave them tied on when baby decides to make his appearance. My grandpa made the cradle for my mom when she was pregnant with me and she just brought everything she had when she brought the cradle to us. I will be leaving the mesh ones on in the crib.

Answer

Get a breathable one! Although the traditional ones are cute the breathable ones are safe and tend to be cheaper too

Answer

I ain't having my newborn/few month old baby getting stuck in the spaces. Also not giving mine a pacifier. If there was a known cause for SIDS, it would be called something other than sudden infant death syndrome. They don't know what causes it. It's a bunch of bullshit to me
