We have breathable mesh and it works great. The AAP recommends not having crib bumpers.

i was told the same too after i purchased the bumpers. my plan is to just leave on when hes not in the crib. and when he is, to take it off.just for looks basically. only because i cant find my reciept😕lol

I just bought a mesh one and I loooove it, because I know she won't get stuck and I can still see her :)

Sometimes the first time they roll over is at night in their crib before you even know. So it's better to avoid them all together. Not worth the risk but that's just me.

Then its just for looks, if you want, put it on... When your baby learns to roll over, take them off. Our daughter will never have one on her crib, but thats our choice

@rookiemom it says no bumper at all because of suffocation when they can start to move. But what about just when they're newborns?

Google what the aap says.
