I know I'm weird, I co-slept but I'm terrified of bumpers! I was able to know that DS1 was breathing when we co-slept, but I'm not going back down that road again with DS2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44754 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:59:30 +0000 cyndistar3 44754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always just used a bumper and she survived it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44747 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 19:39:35 +0000 mrs. wagon 44747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>RJ used to rock his head, so he'd bang his head over and over and over :( it was so sad. We got breathable bumpers, which help now too because he likes to stick his feet between the slats. I looked into Wonder Bumpers but they are so expensive!! He grew out of the head rocking but he still sometimes bangs body parts into the bars... he's a really active sleeper. Haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44693 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 15:14:40 +0000 polkadots 44693@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katm558: How long did you use a positioner for? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44665 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 13:24:47 +0000 Katm558 44665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.yoyo - that wedge looks brilliant! I think that this is going in my shopping cart, even though DS2 isn't quite at that stage yet.</p> <p>I've been scared silly of all types of bumpers, and returned my Breathable Bumper before we even set-up the crib for DS2. We used a sleep positioner with DS1, and his Bumper, but I always felt safer cause he couldn't really move around with the postitioner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44648 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:58:26 +0000 venice4504 44648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just looked on Etsy...</p> <p><a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/73025618/dragon-crib-headboard-bumper-pad-set" rel="nofollow">http://www.etsy.com/listing/73025618/dragon-crib-headboard-bumper-pad-set</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44646 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:54:06 +0000 heffalump 44646@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We use breathable bumpers.

She starts laying the long way but in no time she is turned sideways. and she sleeps on her side so I'm not sure what to do? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44629 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:13:12 +0000 venice4504 44629@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry...did you sleep at my house last night? :)</p> <p>Mine is scooting and hitting his head on the "headboard" portion and I think that we're going to have to make a bolster or something for there. I personally don't think that's a location that a little padding would be a risk in a crib. Are you having issues with the side bars? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-i-do-anything-about-lo-hitting-her-head-on-crib-at-night#post-44623 Sun, 01 Jan 2012 11:00:38 +0000 polkadots 44623@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lo wakes up about 5 times at night because she hits her head. We have bumpers but I don't really want to use them due to risks., anyone else having this problem? LO is only 3.5 months so I have a feeling this is just the beginning of being more active in her crib at night. </p>
