downside of taking the crib bumpers out...

We use the paci strap. It saved us a lot of 2 am paci hunting...

oooh I never thought of that for nighttime!

Five Months to Plan

We use a strap but she pulls it off. There are an extra 3 in her crib. She can usually find at least one. Although by morning most are on the floor.

we didn't use bumpers until about 2 months ago when i got sick of her losing the paci in the middle of the night. even putting 3 or 4 in the crib didn't work, they'd all wind up on the floor. we just put breathable bumpers in. lifesavers!

Breathable bumper FTW!  Although we initially got it because he wedged his limbs between the bars a few times, it is awesome for keeping the paci in.

Yeah, I took the bumper out last week only because it was a pain to change his sheet with it in (and he wet through his diaper like 3 days in a row). I'll either put the regular bumper back in I guess or the breathable that I bought as a back up
