Did you wash your bumper?

I am so afraid that it will shrink or not look good when I wash it!!!!  It is from PBK and good quality but just curious...

    I did not. I had mine made, but I did not wash the fabric before it was made. Also, by the time your baby can touch the bumper, it should be out of the crib or he will not be bothered byt the fabric. Thats how i feel about it.

    I never used my bumper. Early on for risk of SIDS and later due to fear of DD using it as a step to get out of crib.

    I did.. just cuz. lol. I pretty much wanted it clean, even tho LO wont be touching it, it touches stuff in the crib. I'd just rather everything be clean.

    A bumper came with my set from The Land of Nod (nicer quality) and it had wash instructions on it.  I washed it on cold on the delicate cycle and dried it on low.  Came out perfect!

    I did but only because I wanted it be be free of the "store smell". I didn't  dry them tho because I was afraid of the foam rolling up inside them.

    We ended up not using them tho becuase they were slightly too long for my crib and they looked stupid in it, also because of the SIDS risk.

    I have a breathable bumper.  I washed it and let it air dry. That worked out well for me.

    Nope, don't need to have a bumper I can't use. Anyway, I think it is just for show, as baby will not be in crib with a bumper anyway.
