Are bumpers really needed in a crib?

They just seem really expensive compared to other parts of the bedding.

Re: Are bumpers really needed in a crib?

  • I'm getting the breathable mesh bumper for $28
  • I have a bumper for the crib and plan on putting the baby in a sleep positioner until he is moving around more then I will take the bumper out.

  • no, they are not necessary.  we are getting a breathable bumper, because i don't want arms or legs getting stuck.
  • Bumpers have already been discussed today.?

    See the post titled something about "words of wisdom from 0-6" and my post titled "real quick, my thoughts on bumpers".?

    Ditto this. Regular bumpers (like those that come in the crib sets) are not recommended.

  • Not necessary at all, and in fact some people are against them. Do some research, I think you'll find it interesting.

    Bumpers are in no way necessary.  They are for decorative purposes.

    I don't think they are necessary, but I do like them. And they do come in handy when your baby is rolling around a lot. My mom is making mine.

     

  • For me personally I think they are once your baby is moving especially.

  • Definitely not needed.  They're a suffocation hazard anyway unless you get the mesh kind.  We had bumpers, and put them in the crib so it looked cute, but once our son started sleeping there we packed the bumpers up.  It was basically a waste of money, unless you aren't concerned about suffocation.

    Wow. How open-minded of you.?

    I was thinking the same thing.
