Do you use crib bumpers?

Question

Answer

Nope and never will. There are too many risks. Suffocating, strangulation, and then when they are bigger they can use certain ones to step on and fall out on their heads.

Answer

Not worth the suffocation or strangulation risk. I put my kid in a sleep sack. We’ve never had an issue with limbs hanging out of the crib. She also never hits her head on the crib. Even if she did, I still wouldn’t get one.

Answer

When my son was 9 months I finally caved and bought the mesh ones because he kept sticking his arm out of his crib and rolling around I was paranoid about him getting stuck or something 😂😂

Answer

We had the mesh ones for a while but my son likes to inch worm himself around the crib and he was bashing his head and waking himself all night long, so after a few days of 10+ wakes each night I finally caved and put on regular bumpers, he went back to his normal 2 wake ups the night we put them on, we also have the owlet sock so I’m not concerned at all, he’s 8 months and we’ve had them on since he was 6 months. He also sleeps with a blanket as he would get twisted in his sleep sack and it would wake him up, he’s a super picky sleeper 🙄

Answer

We used the mesh bumpers when my son started to move wildly in the crib and was sticking his limbs through the bars and it made me so nervous, but we took them off once he was able to stand in his crib because we didn’t want him to use them to climb out.

Answer

Mesh ones because I got sick of my sons legs getting caught in the middle of the night. I get scared it’ll hurt him

Answer

We have the mesh ones because she was constantly throwing her pacifiers out the back lol she doesn’t move around a ton in her crib so it doesn’t worry me. She loves sleeping on her back with her arms behind her head. She’s able to move if she wanted but nope! She’s good 👍🏼 lol

Answer

No. My friend lost her baby due to one. There is far too many risks. 
Although I haven't heard anything bad about the mesh bumpers, I cant give any personal reference on that but all the other ones please stay clear.
I was wondering myself how I could get around using a cot without a bumper and I came across The Mellow Momma on YouTube and she doesnt use a cot for her son she uses a mattress on the floor and when I watched all of her points as to of why I didnt buy a cot and I ended up doing the exact same. My son was in the chico next2me co-sleeper up until 9 months in my room, I then put him in his own room with a mattress on the floor and its brilliant. Hes not limited to a small space in a cot, theres no risks or accidents, he has freedom, he hasnt got to wait for us to go in and get him he can just crawl and play in the morning until hes ready to wake us for his nappy to be changed and for his bottle.

Answer

Yes once my son was 12 months old and they’re the mesh lining ones.

Answer

I did he wriggled around so much that he would wake himself up bumping his head 🙈 I have a video monitor. When he got old enough to stand up in the cot I took them out as I was worried he would use them to climb out. He is nearly 2 now and still in a cot in a sleep sack he still wriggles but not as much as he did as a baby
