So far no issues with them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307481 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:49:39 +0000 mediagirl 307481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LivsMama: haha I bet it will be an "oh duh" moment for me, as well. Right now I just have it on the front of the crib - where she normally jams her feet out. </p> <p>@looch: great. That's what we have. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307472 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:41:53 +0000 LivsMama 307472@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It took me several times to figure out the breathable bumper but I finally got it. I never used a regular one because the older she gets, the more she squishes against it (face, body, limbs and all.) Make sure there is some overlap. I can take pics of mine tonight so you can see how its on there. Once it finally clicked I was like "oh duh..." lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307464 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:35:11 +0000 looch 307464@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I too have a breathable bumper, I couldn't get it to fit correctly in our crib (Ikea Gulliver) so I gave up and used the regular bumper with no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307429 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:05:58 +0000 BeachMama 307429@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a regular one. I know if had to LO could move her face away from it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307426 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 08:01:56 +0000 autumnlove 307426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a breathable bumper that I plan on removing soon. She has figured out how to smoosh them down! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307424 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:59:15 +0000 sorrycharlie 307424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My nanny LOs used traditional bumpers.</p> <p>I have a breathable and found it much easier to install watching the YouTube video! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307422 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:56:44 +0000 loveisstrange 307422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've used a regular bumper since the beginning and had no issues. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307421 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:55:51 +0000 regberadaisy 307421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha - it was a pain to figure out. I found it key to look at the pictures and make sure you're installing it for the right kind of crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307387 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:18:20 +0000 heffalump 307387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use breathable bumpers but my LO does shove her face through the side of the crib. They're pretty useless anyway because she figures out how to pull them down so she can still get her limbs stuck :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bumpers#post-307380 Mon, 24 Sep 2012 07:11:46 +0000 mediagirl 307380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Baby girl has started sticking her legs through the slats of her crib which leads to a vicious cycle of her waking herself up with her leg stuck. I bought a breathable bumper this weekend and hate it. I mean, it's great for her not getting stuck but I can't figure out how to get it attached to the crib properly.</p> <p>Sooooo....when did you start using a real bumper on your crib? She never shoves her face into the side of the crib, just her legs. Her head stays in the middle of the crib, just the rest of her body moves around...and around...and around. Should I just get a real bumper already since I know she can move away from it if she needs to or should I figure out how to use this cursed breathable bumper?</p> <p>What do you use? </p>
