I prefer not to use bumpers, even the mesh ones, so basically they just had to learn to not do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2611084 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 16:58:32 +0000 BSB 2611084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They usually get their knee stuck. Is that where your LOs would get stuck? </p> <p>Like they would stand at the end of the mattress and get stuck when they bend down. To get them unstuck, I would have to grab their whole body and lift up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2611079 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 16:55:50 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2611079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a regular crib bumper for both girls... my oldest never got her leg stuck but my youngest seemed to get her leg stuck several times. It's scary, but I think it's something that they eventually stop doing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2611071 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 16:45:56 +0000 dolphin 2611071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we use breathable mesh bumpers </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610989 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:43:46 +0000 Dahlia 2610989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO will intentionally stick an arm or leg through the slats when she's falling asleep these days. Sometimes she starts screaming a few hours later when she tries to roll and is stuck, mostly it works just fine. I don't think there's much you can do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610981 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:38:45 +0000 BSB 2610981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kiddosc: Now that the heatwave is gone, we have gone back to using sleep sacks for naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610979 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:33:03 +0000 GoGoSnoGirl 2610979@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a mesh bumper &amp; as @jny1179: said, my toddler sticks her legs over it &amp; through the slats now, but it was more helpful when she was less mobile. I don't worry about it now, because I think she's strong enough to get back out, but it was very concerning to me before she was a good crawler or walker. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610976 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:28:46 +0000 kiddosc 2610976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would just put them in sleep sacks for naps. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610901 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 14:49:57 +0000 jny1179 2610901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use mesh bumpers with both my boys and they still would stick their legs up and over the bumper and out between the slats. Not much you can do about it. They don't do it much anymore, the LO still does once in awhile, he's 7 mos. The 18 mos old rarely does. I do find the mesh bumper helps when they are little. I know it wouldn't matter with the toddler. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610900 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 14:49:41 +0000 Mrsbells 2610900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: we used a breathable bumper which is thinner mesh bumper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/los-leg-gets-stuck-in-the-crib#post-2610894 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 14:47:11 +0000 BSB 2610894@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They both get their legs stuck in the crib posts. It usually happens when they don't wear sleep sacks (for naps). </p> <p>I know a crib bumper might help. </p>
