Actually it's happened before (and not from the bumper)--so I'm *really* glad we went with the pair (bumper+motion monitor). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248674 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 13:19:05 +0000 looch 248674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a padded one once we stopped swaddling at 6months of age. We still use it at 19 months. I found the breathable one didn't help with the head banging at all. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248518 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 10:16:56 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 248518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: I have had mine in since the beginning...but I know most people aren't comfortable with that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248388 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:40:25 +0000 regberadaisy 248388@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yeah I have a breathable bumper I'll be putting in tonight.</p> <p>For those that ended up putting in a padded one, how old was your LO when you did? M can't roll over yet so I'm def not comfortable with that yet.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248387 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:31:08 +0000 sorrycharlie 248387@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I currently have a breathable bumper in her crib, but I have a padded one in the closet that I bought second hand for when she is a little bigger (she's due in Sept) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248380 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:24:38 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 248380@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is for this reason that I use a regular old fashioned crib bumper2 my LO is a lunatic in her sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248367 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 07:08:28 +0000 SugarplumsMom 248367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never thought I'd need one but I bought a used Pottery Barn bumper on Ebay, just in case. LO's super wiggly and I'm glad I got it for when we start to sleep train. Knowing how wiggly and strong she is, I'm not so concerned about the suffocation hazard but I'll def get a video monitor before we attempt to have her sleep in her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248359 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 06:15:42 +0000 Rubies 248359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't do anything about it until she started waking up from the bumping. Then I started using a crib bumper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248357 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 06:13:58 +0000 Mrs.M57 248357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're having the same problem, plus my lo has been getting her arms and legs caught in between the slats. I didn't want to have to, but we're going out to get breathable bumpers today. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248319 Sun, 05 Aug 2012 01:08:07 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 248319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a baby in the crib yet but I did put my breathable bumper on and it seems taut enough that it would protect baby from hitting his head on the slats. You could always buy one and return it if it doesn't work out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248304 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:39:38 +0000 pinkcupcake 248304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO has been moving around a ton, too, and the past few days, she's woken up with her head against the slats. We use Breathable Bumpers... I don't know how much it helps, but I'm hoping it's better than nothing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-do-you-protect-los-head-wo-a-padded-crib-bumper#post-248301 Sat, 04 Aug 2012 23:35:46 +0000 regberadaisy 248301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ok, M has really started to wiggle in her sleep. Which means although she starts off at 90 by the time she wakes for feeding she's at about 30 degrees with her head up against the crib slots.<br /> I'm afraid of her hitting her head and smushed against the crib and imprinting/shaping her head.</p> <p>How do you protect her head w/o using a padded crib bumper??? </p>
