Question

Is getting a crib bumper at 11 months a good idea? Every night for a period of time, sometimes twice, I hope not more, you can hear a “bang bang bang” coming from my baby’s room. He’s asleep but hitting his head/body against the crib repeatedly for about 10 minutes or so. It sounds horrible. I was thinking of getting a mesh bumper for the crib? Has anyone else gone through this? I can’t imagine a bumper would be a hazard at this age, he is almost 1? Thanks!

I’ve been using a mesh bumper since my son was 6 months and it’s fine. He likes to sleep up against the side of the crib and I think it’s more comfortable with a bumper than just plain wood slats.

I would think the mesh bumper should be fine, especially given his age.  It is fairly thin, so it won’t cushion him against those hits, but maybe at least will lessen the blow.
