I was reading a bunch of stuff online
lastnight just about babies in general
& came across a couple pages that said
how you aren't suppose to use crib bumpers
anymore because they increase the risk of
.S.I.D.S... Then another website I was on
said that they were okay until the baby
was 6 months old... I have crib bumpers
in .Kaylee's crib, because since they came
with the whole set I got at her
babyshower, I figured they were safe. Now
i'm a little worried. Sooo my question
is:
.How many of you used/or use crib
bumpers?

We still use crib bumpers and chu is 8
months old. I just tie them very tightly
to the crib slats so he can't pull them
down. I have to because when I had him
in the crib one day sans bumper he was
busy trying to get his hands through the
slats...

Only used them for a couple of months
around 8-9 months because he kept getting
his feet stuck in the crib bars. But I
never really used them.
i heard you should get rid of them once
your child can get up on their feet on
their own.

Never used them because of the .S.I.D.S
risk. They prevent sufficient air flow
around the baby apparently. Mind you,
i'm surprsied that they can sell them if
they're that much of a risk

I'm not using them now because I want the
air to flow freely and also his mattress
is on the highest setting so he'd probably
feel like he's in a box if they were on.
However, I might start using them once he
starts rolling around and getting his
limbs stuck in between the slats. We'll
see when we get there.

I've heard you aren't supposed to use them
because when they move around at night
they may end up too close to the bumper
and suffocate....So .I never used them.
