would you put bumpers in?

DS is a wild man in his sleep lately, and last night he smacked his head so hard on the crib that he's got a big bruise. ?He's also woken himself from naps a few times lately because his leg is wedged in the bars. ?He rolls both ways easily and has great head control- my only concern is that when we tried bumpers before, he snuggled his face right up to it.

The breathable ones don't seem thick enough to protect him, so I'm talking about the thicker ones.?

WWYD? ??

That's tough.  While the risk of SIDS has dropped at his age, it still is a risk.  However, if he moves a lot, that is a good sign too, that he would be able to move if need be.  I'd maybe wait a little longer.

we have the breathable ones on now. I guess you could just put those on and before you go to bed check on him to see where his is and if he is close to the side then carefully slide him back to the middle.

We use bumpers.  DD moves around in her sleep all night long.

I talked to my pedi about this yesterday and she said that although the risk is very low in regard to SIDS, it is still there.  Her only two cases of SIDS in her 20 years were an 8 month old and a 10 month old.  She told me to just let him be and that he will eventually learn to move away if he keeps bumping his head.  I just go in and scoot him down periodically when I check on him.

we use ours. I took it to the tailor & had ribbons put on the bottom to tie it closer to the crib.?

I had a ribbon sewn in at every spot there was a crib slat. You can also buy one that maybe isn't as thick as the one that came with your set.?
