How do you guys feel about bumper pads in cribs? Yay or nay? My mother in law bought us the whole crib set I wanted and…

I got the breathable bumper from Walmart for 32 dollars. :)

I think they are necessary, my child's leg got caught a few times because I never got any. If you're super worried about it, I'd say get the mesh ones, but I don't think it's a big deal. You can leave all the other parts of the crib set there, and just change the bumpers.

I had them with my daughter, didn't with my son and he's always getting his fat little legs stuck in the slats, so this baby will definitely have crib bumpers.

They're still a little padded, so I'm not worried about head bumps, they prevent stuck arms and legs in crib bars, and they are breathable if baby did happen to roll over face first into them. The one I have I order on Amazon for $30 or so. They sell them at Wal-Mart and stuff as well, but I wanted the cute grey trellis pattern.

@babyreeves, I like the idea of the mesh ones! I'm going to check those out!

I think it's your personal choice momma! if you've researched it and you don't feel comfortable, don't use it. They sell mesh ones, if you do think of returning it and want one that is a little a safer. Thats what I have installed in my sons.

yes babies have died from them.

like, the crib liner tied to the inside of the crib? I was thinking I should have gotten one but decided the set I got is cute and I don't really need it.. is it really a hazard @babyrhea16 ?

breathable ones are fine tho!

If you do take them back they have breathable bumpers now I got some from target

No bumpers

@babyrhea16, that's what I read too!

you arent supposed to use them anymore.
