we have used breathable bumpers for all 3 boys - the whole time. I see no need for regular bumpers- esp with the risks of SIDS and also them using to climb out.
We use bumpers, ours are 6 small sections and I left off the side that faces out so there is only 4 on there. Ours are thin and the kids don't gain any height when stood on so they are still in their beds.

We have them, but I'll be honest it's more cause they look pretty than anything else. They aren't sleeping in their cribs a ton right now, I think I would be easier w/o the bumpers if they were b/c I could see them w/o going in the room. I'm sure they'll be great once the kids start moving though so they don't bump their heads or get their arms/legs stuck.
We did not use any until they started moving around. Once they could stick their limbs through the slats we put up breathable and they are fine. I would rather them be safe than use something that looks pretty.
We use them. I figure they will come off when they start pulling up and wanting to use them as a step. For now, they hardly move in their sleep, they look nice, and we have Angelcare monitors, so it's a calculated risk we're willing to take.

Cut the Crap - Weight loss journey of a Few Fat Chicks
After 2 rounds of IVF & 2 rounds of FET, we were blessed with identical twin girls!
I had them on when they girls were sleeping swaddled.
After we stopped swaddling, I took them off as the girls learned to roll over, etc.
I put them back on again around 7 months when they started getting limbs stuck.
