Do you use a crib bumper?

I always have with Bubba and Macey (didn't know it was a no-no) I'm ordering Morgan's bedding today and was trying to decide if I need the bumper.

cubsfan1 · May 2009

Yes so far we have used one. I think I might take it down when she can roll though, we will see.

Nope, I wouldn't risk it.

yo.mama · May 2009

Nope. We have a fitted sheet and that's it.

Ktindall · May 2009

Nope

me&mymonkey · May 2009

I have one in there now but DS only naps in his crib. Still undecided if I will keep it up by the time he sleeps in there for the night. By that time he will probably be rolling and able to move his head a lot better so my guess is I probably will.

Why are they no-nos?

SWMcFarland · May 2009

No, but we should. We always find her limbs through the slats. She is a mover.

wec5473 · May 2009

No. It doesn't fit on the crib properly so I don't use it.

JARbaby · May 2009

Nope though this time I have it on the outside for decoration and the breathable on the inside.

etoussa · May 2009

Yes, DS only naps on his crib during the day.

hawindrem · May 2009

We use a breathable bumper.

Kari Merks · May 2009

Nope. We have the mattress pad cover, fitted sheet and then Ultimate Crib Sheet over that. Nothing more, nothing less. But we also went for a simple look in the nursery.

On the outside of the crib? Good idea. I'm afraid of M getting his arms twisted in the rungs.

britti<3 · May 2009

Ours is on there but she's never slept in her crib. I'm going to buy a breathable one and just ditch her bedding set.

jamie4duke · May 2009

Nope and I won't either. One day Kelsey scooted herself all the way up against the railing and if the bumper was up, it is possible she could have suffocated.

stellablue96 · May 2009

nope...no crib bumper for us.

Cec07 · May 2009

nope. I tried it one day after ds kept pushing himself into the edge of the crib, but I went in to check on him and he had his arm over the top of it his face planted in it. no more after that.

So do we. I got it once DS started rolling and his arms and legs would be hanging out of the crib.

Impatientgal · May 2009

Nope. I don't like the look of them.

bstngrl578 · May 2009

Yes, used it for both of my kids.

rouge411 · May 2009

Ditto. Her real crib bedding (she's in a portable crib now) has one, though... not sure if I'll use it.

ChefBrit · May 2009

It was on the crib until DD started sleeping in there at night. I took it off. I will get a breathable once she starts rolling but will put the cute one back on when she is past the SIDS scary age!

Aprilsies · May 2009

Yes - if not she would have her legs and arms caught (this was happening) and watching her head onthe sides of the crib. She's very mobile these days.

jacksjerseygirl · May 2009

Yep and I'm 100% fine with it. When he's swaddled he doesn't move. At 3 weeks he was rolling over, and now he is almost rolling all ways at over 4 weeks. He lifts his head and moves his face away from anything that might obstruct his breathing. He frequently sleeps on tummy during the day which is probably why he has such great head/neck strength and is able to roll over.

Anyway - if I didn't think he would move his face then I would probably remove them.

Gabe&Dana · May 2009

Yes, we use one.

LovesGreenBay · May 2009

he's not in his crib yet, but we have one in it for when he moves over to it.

grettaz · May 2009

Nope. I would have, but our crib has a solid back, so there's nowhere to tie the bumper to in the back. I would have taken it out once she started moving though.

jwt6 · May 2009

I just put it in because he started rolling all over the place and one day his arm was hanging out of the crib.

DAuger · May 2009

yes...always

GraciousMrs · May 2009

No--I bought one and had it on before he was born. I thought for sure I would use it. When he arrived and we put him in the crib, I was too scared to risk it...crazy!
