crib question

w2amhw2amh member
in June 2012 Moms

I need some help...Does this look right?

When the mattress is centered there is about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch gap between the mattress and the crib rails.  The pictures below show the space (about a 1/2 inch).  This is with the back side of the mattress pressed tightly against the crib.  Is this an unsafe amount of space?

Thanks in advance for any help!

    If you're worried, you could put a bulky mattress pad (or few) in to make it a little thicker. We haven't gotten our mattress in yet, so I hope we don't have any gaps.

    It looks good to me :) I don't think your LO is going to fall into that gap or get body parts stuck. If you're worried about it you can add 2 mattress pads instead of one under the sheet and that should take up more space but I don't think you'll need to.

    This is how our "naked" mattress looks in our crib too. But once I got the mattress pad on and the sheet, nearly all of the extra gap was taken up so I wouldn't worry. I don't even think a chubby little elbow will wiggle its way down into that tiny gap. :)
