crib rail protectors

Can anyone recommend one. DD is apparently eating her crib at sitters. The sitter said she hasn't done it before. But on Friday she left some serious bite marks. Looks like an beaver got to her crib! There were teeth marks on all 4 rails. I think I'd prefer the clear plastic ones over the fabric ones. Less for dd to mess with and I think they are cheaper.

Her crib at the sitters in an ikea crib (can't remember if its the sniglar or the gulliver).So I'm looking for something that will fit that.

I have a graco Lauren signature crib at home. She's only chewed on it at home once a few weeks ago when her bottom teeth were coming in. There are only a few marks. Not sure if I'll get them for home too since it really hasn't been an issue.

Any one use these? Can you recommend yours?

Got pregnant on our own without Fertility Treatments - January 2016!  Thank you snow storm Jonas!
EDD 10/15/16
At 20-week anatomy scan found IUGR (Intrauterine Growth Restriction), and very low Amniotic Fluid.  Now, I'm High Risk and have weekly ultrasounds to monitor fluid and growth.  If baby runs out of room or is too growth restricted, they will deliver ASAP.  My current goal is to make it to 28 weeks!

Re: crib rail protectors

  • We have the Leachco fabric ones. They really aren't that much of a distraction, DS got bored with it after the first day or two. I did see some of the rubbery ones at BRU in the safety section the other day, if you're wanting to try those.

  • We have this: https://www.amazon.com/Trend-Lab-Crib-Guard-Brown-Fleece/dp/B00208NUOI/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt DS was a beaver with the crib. It was getting ridiculous. These have helped a lot!

    We have this same "beaver dam" for our little beaver baby. She was so bad about chewing on the crib we put her in the travel crib for a few nights waiting for these to arrive! Silly baby! They have helped us a ton too.

  • I just made one out of an old receiving blanket. It doesn't look too great, but it works.

  • I just tied DD's bumper pads over the tops to stop her from chewing them. It works like a charm, I didn't have to spend more money and it matches her bedroom.

  • Thanks ladies!  I love all the DYI ideas!  Never thought of using left over recieving blankets or bumper pads!

    I think I'm going to get the Trend Lab covers for my crib at home!  Found a 3 peice set on Amazon for $40.

    But debating if I want to spent that much money on our other crib at the sitters.  I'd need to cover all 4 sides.  The crib at the sitters was less than $100, and to cover all 4 sides of it with the Trend Lab covers is going to cost just over $50!  I was looking at the hard plastic ones online.  They've gotten some bad reviews, but I might risk it to save the extra $15-$20!  And if they suck, I'll just return them!  Wish me luck!
