She would move around in her sleep and wake herself up every half hour, bumping into the bars. The bumper really helped with that and I often find her with her head against the sides, but safe and sound. I honestly dont see the risk of suffocation, once theyre bigger..If you have your bumper installed so it is tight against the crib bars, you should be fine.<br /><br />If there are still worried moms out there, they make bumpers now out of the breathable mesh material which I've see at the Bay in Richmond Hill.TOgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12163968129443560474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148013185139828436.post-27246446850182219982009-07-27T13:07:33.382-04:002009-07-27T13:07:33.382-04:00I actually love the bumber.

The bumbers protect her hurting herself. They are tied down and don't move and I think they actually help rather than worry me. On a side note, I did find the sleep positioner to be a hazard! She wiggled so much in her sleep that one day she was under the positioner and it was draped over her head. It scared me half to death because I thought she could suffocate because of this. After this, no more positioner and she sleeps just fine without it.Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100278873615899864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148013185139828436.post-70205855174734112672009-07-27T11:05:26.714-04:002009-07-27T11:05:26.714-04:00Thanks for this.

But this confirms my original thought; just a waste of $.Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096270505577410960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148013185139828436.post-69050766529380799292009-07-25T09:06:24.413-04:002009-07-25T09:06:24.413-04:00I also decided it wasn't worth the risk just t...I also decided it wasn't worth the risk just to have the crib look nicer with the bumper pads in and when I was looking for bedding I found it so frustrating that all the sets came with bumper pads. Baby bedding is crazy expensive as it is without paying for something I won't even use. Luckily I have a crafty Mom, so she made my baby bedding for me sans bumper pads.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing this story - I feel justified in my decision.<br /><br />KateMike and Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583618273193240560noreply@blogger.com
