Does your LO bump their head on the crib rails?

I'm beginning to think wooden cribs are the dumbest idea ever for babies. DS is pretty good at sitting, but when he wakes up at night, he's still groggy and sometimes topples over and bashes his head against the wooden crib rails. :-( I have a breathable bumper in there, but it doesn't provide much padding, and he usually hits above the bumper anyway. I feel so bad.

    We haven't even used a breathable bumper because we hadn't had any issues. Well this morning I go in DS room and his legs are sticking out. I think its because he has on a thinner sleep sack. Sorry that doesn't really help you.

    We put on the padded bumpers. He also learned pretty quickly how to not fall over after sitting up. GL!

    Same thing happens to DS and I have no idea on how to prevent it!

    I think it is just a part of growing up.  We didn't even have ANY type of bumpers on our crib or anything else in the house growing up.  But, the company that makes breathable crib shield that is much bigger and goes all the way around the crib and covers from the mattress to the top rail.

    Yep, DD did it twice last night...once in the middle of the night and once this morning when I was getting ready for work and she was just waking up.  I felt so bad and thought she would have a big bruise this morning!  No suggestions on what to do to stop it...I just figured she'll learn.
