Just wondering what does everyone think of cot bumpers? I have one for the cot but read they can be unsafe so not sure whether to use it or not
I was told by health visitor not to use one until they are 1. I have such a lovely bumper too but I do everything in told by midwives/health visitors etc that I took it off as soon as she left despite the fact he's going to be in Moses basket in with me for however long first aha x
I read that they can increase the risk of SIDs due to ventilation...also there's been cases where children have been strangled with the strings etc....Even when they were tied properly etc. I don't think bubs really needs it...especially as a newborn as they don't roll etc(at first)...if you are worried about arms or legs getting trapped inbetween the bars etc....you can put bubs in a sleeping bag :) I have two xD It is a personal choice though. Just something I won't be using xD X
Got it just now for decoration until baby big enough to go into cot then will take them off xx
