anyone else not using bumpers? i have some but i have yet to wash them and put them on the crib i…

yeah, I'm not going to waste my money lol. you're not even supposed to use them for infants, and for older kids it's only any good to stop them from sticking their hands or legs through the crib bars, and oh well, I can help them get their foot unstuck lol.

I'm not using them, I don't think it's worth the risk.

Bumpers are now considered a danger and a SIDS risk factor. I wouldn't bother with them at all.

Like they all said, not using bumpers is one of the items on the SIDS prevention list 😁

well to be honest I would rather have the bumpers on the crib than risk my child getting hurt by sticking there fingers or feet thru the bars

they came with my bed set they are cute but her crib is literally a doorway away from me so its not like im way away from her plus i have a baby monitor with video right next to my bed i just would rather be able to pop my head in and see her to check on her and with the bumpers i feel like you cant see them unless you walk right up to the crib @maybabyboy

@pierce928916, so, you'd rather risk SIDS than a hand going through the bars that you could help remove? Sorry, I'd rather risk my child crying for a few minutes than never being able to cry again....

misunderstanding @sarahemccormick

I have yet to hear of an infant getting hurt by getting stuck inbetween the slits on a crib. My son is 15 months old, and to this day he has not had a bumper, (way too many babies have lost their life by suffocating from bumpers) than having a leg get stuck. Not trying to argue, just want you to see where we non-bumper users come from. Some parents chose to risk having the risky bumper, but if I HAD to use one, I would get the mesh option, so I know if my baby were to roll over, they can at least breath

@pierce928916,

@rachel8792, I have the mesh one, I just don't like having the thought of my son hurting himself.. that's all

i could be wrong. but i think i saw in a you tube video that there is mesh crib bumpers i believe that you can get and thats supposed to help against sids or something.

I have mesh ones on my crib, they look cute and they're breathable. You can get them cheap at walmart in lots of different designs and looks to match your nursery and crib set. :)

my sons 13 months old and hes never stuck his legs through the crib, honestly in my opinion they are a waste of money and add on to the list of unnecessary baby stuff
