    Crib Bumpers

    So Adele has decided to sleep on her stomach as of yesterday. All of her naps and her overnight we put her down on her back and she rolls over and goes to sleep. My concern is the bumper on her crib. Its by no means plush and pillowy. But my concern is that she only rolls over her left shoulder and to this point has not or can't roll back.

    Am I being paranoid? Should I take the bumper off? I'm afraid she'll suffocate, DH is afraid she'll hurt herself by getting her arm stuck in the crib slats or something.

    Advice, been there? Thanks!

    I don't know, we never used bumpers...

    If she is rolling onto her stomach, I say just lay her down that way in the middle of the crib and be done with it...

      SIDS Alliance says no bumper. I don't do everything they say, but mostly. A mesh bumper would satisfy both your and your husband's concerns. :02:

        We don't do bumpers here either, so I guess my advice would be to just take it out.

          I agree that the mesh would solve both concerns. I would just take it out though. If she gets stuck, she'll let you know!

            I took it out, hopefully I will sleep better tonight because of it - thanks!

              We took ours out after DS (the oldest) almost suffocated in it. (I was startled awake and ran in to check on him - very grateful that I did!!!!!!!) We haven't used one since.

              Crib bedding is worthless. All you can use is the bedskirt and sheet!

                I don't know. I kept my bumper in a long time. too long. DD used it as a ladder to get out. But it kept the binkis in and the legs in too. Tonight she got her leg stuck between the crib bars. That hurt.

                  We have the mesh breathable bumper from Babies R Us. She can't suffocate, but it also keeps her limbs in and prevents her from banging her head and waking up.
