breathable bumper...yay or nay

[browneyedgirl9]

I know bumpers are a big "no no" but now that DS is more mobile he is all.over.the.crib!

His legs are out some nights, arms sometimes, his face had been smushed into the wood a few times. I'm thinking about buying a breathable bumper at target tonight. Anyone have one? Good? bad?

We have one, two thumbs up. Keeps arms and legs inside and also kept the paci in there when he used one.

I gave in and bought one at about 7 months, he was able to move everywhere by himself and able to move himself away from the walls. He was kicking off and getting his legs shoved through the holes and had at one time pulled up and then twisted and fell. I felt better having it. Bonus, his binkie stopped falling behind the crib in the middle of the night so he could find it on his own and not start crying for it!

We got one after DD got her arm stuck between the rails and the wall one morning. She was about 5 months I believe.

[countthestars]

Yes, we started using one once DD was mobile enough to get herself out of the way of it if needed.

I have a breathable and a padded one. I prefer the padded one by a lot. She is always banging up against the sides when she is awake.

(whispers)

She's had one in there from about 2 months.  This picture is from 7 weeks old or what was supposed to be her EDD.  She was a squirmy one from the start.

We like ours for the same reason, keeps everything in the crib.

We used one with dd1 for 2 yrs. dd2 for a few months because she was climbing it

I went back and forth on getting one, but ultimately decided it was worth it. And it's amazing. DD used to scoot up to the side of the crib and spit her pacifier out onto the floor. I have no idea why she did it, but every night! Now, it's always in the crib with her.

I liked our breathable bumper. It was a PITA to put on, but it served us well from the time DS could roll until we ditched the crib.

[wavepool]

We did for a couple of weeks, I got freaked out, so now we have nothing. He has gotten stuck one time, but he cried so we were able to see it on the video monitor and fix it for him.

Thanks ladies! Went out and bought one at target. They also price matched the one in store to their online price. Score!

[humpforfree]

Just got one today because last night I had to remove limbs from the slats 4 times and retrieve a pacifier once. Nope.

[teatimefor2]

We have one and I love it, although he's still able to get a limp stuck on occasion.

[BAMFMrsB]

DS must have a breathable bumper. He used to get his limbs in the slats and MAN did that piss him off. He's a tornado in his sleep, even at 2. We hear him banging around in there, but if he's not awake or crying, the bumper is doing it's job!

[simpsongal]

Ugh, I put one on and DH made me take it off. He's skeerd.

It is a must for us. When she rolls, she has to swing her legs over and her braces always hit the side of the crib. I was afraid she would get a foot stuck and twist her ankle.

This made me laugh. We didn't have one, but I assume my second would have climbed it also.

I'm concerned that A is going to do the same thing, she's been pulling on it the last few nights.

Yes to a breathable bumper, especially with the legs getting stuck in between the rails. I would have to go into DD's room a few times a night to put DD's legs back into the crib. Weave it in between the slats to keep it up. Otherwise it seems to slump down.

We have one from BreathableBaby
