Bumpers...
How did I not realize how dangerous it is to have bumpers in the crib? I feel like such a bad mama. Not to mention my husbands grandma bought it for us and feel bad but after reading all about it I'm for sure taking them down!
I need help ladies... I don't feel my sons crib is safe anymore... he's moving a lot... he's pulling bumpers, sticking his legs and feet over the bumpers and through the bars(he would do that bumper or no bumper so i don't want to hear how they're unsafe) ... rolling a lot and on his tummy a lot... but I don't want him sleeping with me every night...
How would I know if I am having contractions? Im a first time mom and I feel bad cramps, I feel pressure sometimes but I don't know how it would feel to have contractions or what counts as one. Any advice?
Question how do you mommies feel about bumpers on cribs?
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 now I feel like I want to take back the bumper set which came separately after reading about them being a hazard.
Honest opinions. How do you feel about immigrants? All races, not just Mexicans. Does racism play a factor in how you feel?

I thought they were illegal? Maybe just wrong info I heard ?♀️

Good call taking them down.

We put the mesh/breathable bumpers in when baby was old enough to move around a lot and kept getting arms and legs stuck through the bars and the paci kept falling onto the floor.

None of my kids have ever had any crib bedding or bumpers. We only put a cute sheet in the crib. They can't sleep with all that stuff because of the suffocation risk and it's expensive! I'm like geesh I can get a queen set for this price!!

My health visitor told me horror stories about bumpers how babies get caught under them and suffocate I don't know why they still sell them in shops ?

I have the mesh bumpers. I figured that baby won't be in the crib til around 6 months, when they can roll over and have more control over their movement

I don't use bumpers because it's one more thing to wash. As far as headbands go, not in the car seat or while they're sleeping and you'll be fine. I only used headbands for photos, they mess up baby's hairline if they wear them too much.

I used them with my son. We use a ceiling fan and since he's in a crib, it's a lot of space. However I have it stuck a good portion of the way down between the mattress and the siding. I don't feel like it's anymore dangerous than the pack n play bassinet or one of those smaller co-sleepers. We didn't really start to be concerned until 6 months, but even then he was larger and could move.

I feel like they just get dusty anyways. Who wants to constantly wash those things?!

I really liked the look of bumpers, so with my first I just used the back piece (mine had 4 separate pieces). I thought that was a good compromise. Then with my second I used a mesh one. And now I'm not using one at all. They're cute. But not worth the risk.

Honestly, I had no clue either. With my first I used one and with my second I found out how harmful they can be so I got a mesh one. This time I'm just not going to put one at all. I will say not having one also concerns me because I know someone who lost their baby due to him sticking his head between the bars of the crib ?? so it's scary to me either way. Don't feel like a bad mama we learn something new everyday.
