I’d rather my baby bump into the sides than suffocate and die and that’s exactly what can happen if she presses her face against it while everyone is sleeping. Bumpers are more so they don’t get their arms and legs stuck and a mesh one does the trick.
You can get a mesh bumper for the crib. That’s what I use. Your baby is 8 months and can likely roll around so I don’t think you need to worry about suffocation. That’s more for newborns since they don’t have control yet.
Mesh bumper all the way. It won’t help pad her bumping issue but nothing safely can. My son will sit there and bump his head against his crib ON PURPOSE and I couldn’t understand it but it won’t hurt her and sometimes they do because they like the rhythm or cause and effect, idk but please don’t put a thick anything in there! If she rolls around and hits from time to time she’ll survive. 😬🤷🏼♀️

Do you mean like thick fabric or a wide mesh bumper?

Crib bumpers aren't safe. The only thing that should be in the crib is a fitted sheet.

@bitchcraft, something like a thick fabric so my baby doesn’t hit her head / face cause it’s hardwood

@bodybycheetos, I know that it isn’t safe but I don’t want my baby to hurt her face/head. She keeps on bumping unto the wood

Keep baby in a sleep sack where their feet are confined.
No blankets. No pillows.
And there are cloth wraps that go around the bars to pad them individually rather than mesh liners.
