Let's talk about bumpers....

vcukoko82 · October 2011

I saw the post last week about not using bumpers....

Are you still going to use a bumper? What about breathable bumpers?

I'm still up in the air, but if I decide to use one, I think it will be the breathable bumper.

I'm not using any type of bumper.

I used a bumper with DD, but probably don't with this one. Chances are low it'll be an issue, but there is a risk. AAP just came out last week and said they're unsafe. I don't know if they still don't like breathable ones. My DD didn't roll much, so she never had an issue with getting her arms or legs through the slats. I guess I'll just wait and see with this one. I did swaddle her highly from birth (early April) until.... maybe July.

I used a breathable one with DD but I probably will not use anything with this one, unless we find a need - for DD, by the time she was moving and it would be useful, she was able to push it up or down and still weasel her arm or legs or feet out, so it really didn't make a difference. We took it out when she was about 7 or 8 months and just never put it back in.

I probably won't until the baby gets arms or legs stuck. The AAP said no to breathable ones as well because of a strangulation risk of the strings.

We have the breathable ones on our crib and it velcros to itself. No strings.

I found the breathable ones at a garage sale for a dollar and they are in like new condition. I put them on to see what they look like but will be most likely taking them off until our LO can move. Especially since no bumpers makes it easier for me to see when they are sleeping.

No bumper at all until she gets older.

We're co-sleeping so we don't need to worry about a bumper at all!

No Bumpers for me... At least not when this one is little, I have a feeling we will need them later...

Kristinmo · October 2011

With DS we didn't use bumpers until he could roll and I had to go in there to pull limbs back out from the slats. Then we used breathable ones with no strings (velcro to themselves like PP said). Planning to do the same this time.

HSartteach · October 2011

We used them with L after he could roll safely. We will most likely do the same for #2.

I'm not going to use a bumper for the first 4 months at least. I'll probably do a breathable bumper once the baby gets a little older in order to prevent them from getting a leg or arm caught between the rails.

kiarstin · October 2011

No bumpers, I don't see a use at a young age anyway. If I feel I need bumpers later when the baby is older to keep pacifier or limbs in I will purchase it, but not until much older.

adam+katie · October 2011

We used a regular bumper until DS could move around, then switched to a breathable bumper. We will do the same with this one.

bingham101 · October 2011

Nope not going to use either kind.

This for us too.

gdizzle · October 2011

We bought a bedding set that comes with a bumper, but we are not planning to use it at all since it is not breathable.

punkymama · October 2011

We won't be using bumpers while the baby is young.

Since we aren't buying a bumper, I am not sure if we would even use one once the child is older.

HoneyBee522 · October 2011

We'll probably get the breathable bumper that velcro's onto itself.

diana.filipi · October 2011

Never needed them with DD and don't plan to start with LO2.

Mattel · October 2011

On the fence with a breathable. I did register for one to potentially use once Reese is old enough to move around. The ones I registered for do not have ties.
