So at 6 months we just decided to go with a real live bumper to try to tame her. I think at this point she would roll away if she ever got her face stifled into a bumper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-823208 Fri, 31 May 2013 21:31:54 +0000 Lindsay05 823208@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had no bumpers and then LO all of a sudden kept getting her legs caught in rails and waking her up. We got the breathable baby bumper and this hasnt been an issue since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-823204 Fri, 31 May 2013 21:30:29 +0000 lemondrop 823204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We weren't going to use them, but from early on he would get his arms and legs stuck in between the bars, so we got this one:<br /> <a href="http://www.target.com/p/breathable-mesh-crib-liner-by-breathablebaby-sage/-/A-10953560#prodSlot=medium_1_3&#038;term=breathable+bumpers" rel="nofollow">http://www.target.com/p/breathable-mesh-crib-liner-by-breathablebaby-sage/-/A-10953560#prodSlot=medium_1_3&#038;term=breathable+bumpers</a></p> <p>We took it down once we lowered the crib the first time (~6-8 months?), by that point he had stopped shoving his arms and legs out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-823198 Fri, 31 May 2013 21:28:04 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 823198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are still using our at 12 months, mostly to keep pacifiers contained in the crib. C has formed a love attachment to the shortsilky strings that are supposed to hold it in place. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-823193 Fri, 31 May 2013 21:26:31 +0000 Bao 823193@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use the same one as @yin: and @regberadaisy:, and also never had an issue. We had more issues before we put the bumper on at almost 9 months old. She would get her limbs caught and would hurt herself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-823176 Fri, 31 May 2013 21:17:49 +0000 betsyboop 823176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I considered getting a mesh one but decided against it after Mrs. Jacks said that bumpers present more of a strangulation hazard (vs suffocation). Looking back, I don't think we would have used the bumper for that long anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-823119 Fri, 31 May 2013 20:52:25 +0000 dolphin 823119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin, @regberadaisy: thanks ladies!! how long did you use the bumper for? wondering if there is an age when they outgrow bumping their heads and sticking limbs out! :)</p> <p>@rattles: yes! I came across an article about Chicago being the first city to ban the sale of bumpers. Interesting huh? Gotta love online shopping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-821541 Fri, 31 May 2013 10:04:45 +0000 rattles 821541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Chen: I have no real advice, but did you know it's illegal to sell bumpers in Chicago? So I was told when I asked about them at a local baby store anyway. Online shopping ftw! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-821503 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:54:59 +0000 regberadaisy 821503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same as @yin: and never had an issue. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-821495 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:52:32 +0000 yin 821495@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/BreathableBaby-Breathable-Mesh-Liner-White/dp/B0013FGWD0" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/BreathableBaby-Breathable-Mesh-Liner-White/dp/B0013FGWD0</a></p> <p>We used a breathable bumper, and it worked well to protect his limbs from getting stuck between the bars. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers-1#post-821363 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:11:32 +0000 dolphin 821363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know there has been many previous posts about this but thought I'd ask again! Do you use breathable mesh bumpers for your LO's crib?? If so, is there a brand you recommend? LO is five months old and rolling around banging her head on the rails and sticking her legs out the slits. I know bumpers are a no no but I'm considering possibly getting a mesh breathable one. </p>
