It was wedged so hard in there it took me a few minutes to get it out. She had a bad mark on her leg for most the day but it didn't bruise. I was debating about getting the mesh bumper pads, but she hasn't actually done it since that night so I'll wait and see how she does. Sorry you went through that it sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795415 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 13:27:11 +0000 Applesandbananas 1795415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: I don't recall how old L is but have you considered switching him to a floor bed?</p> <p>My LO is 16m and has been consistently in a floor bed since 12m. He won't get out of bed when he wakes up, he just yells for me. His room is baby proofed so even if he did get out of bed, it'd be nbd. </p> <p>I hope you find a good solution soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795406 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 13:20:46 +0000 Kimberlybee 1795406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's so scary and great that you caught it in time! Glad that he is ok.

I think the Bee family had something similar happen a year or two ago. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795360 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 12:07:45 +0000 cyndistar3 1795360@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had this happen with both kids so far with and without bumpers, it's super scary when you can't easily fee them :( Glad he is okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795341 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 11:16:36 +0000 .twist. 1795341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@HabesBabe: I do remember that as well. Honestly, his leg would not move and twisting it would have really hurt him. </p> <p>@tysonja: Yea, he's been sleeping in a diaper these days. We don't have a/c so it gets pretty hot! </p> <p>@Mrs. Jacks: I know. I had just never heard of it happen quite like this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795335 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 11:04:14 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 1795335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So scary! But if I recall, there's never been a fatal injury from legs getting stuck but there are from bumpers... So the thinking goes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795320 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:42:37 +0000 tysonja 1795320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>poor baby! :( I'm so glad that it all worked out! :)</p> <p>is it too hot where you are for a sleep sack? :) we live in a cooler climate and so can use sleep sacks year round. I think it helps a lot for this kind of thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795313 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:35:40 +0000 HabesBabe 1795313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I remember the Bees posted about a similar experience with Charlie- they took pictures and said that they had to move/twist his leg sideways to get it out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795303 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:30:09 +0000 .twist. 1795303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! </p> <p>We have breathable bumpers too. I don't really have a preference either way, but I just thought it was strange/funny how everyone talks about the bumpers and I have never heard about something like this! I have heard about babies who don't have great control over their limbs getting stuck, but his leg would not budge! it was wedged in so tightly it left marks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795280 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:08:07 +0000 keepcalmcarrie 1795280@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's happened to J twice since we removed his bumper - the second time was really scary, it definitely hurt him when we eventually pushed his leg through. I personally am a bumper believer, at least until they can stand and try to climb on them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795275 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 10:01:06 +0000 avivoca 1795275@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How scary! I'm glad L is okay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795270 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:52:35 +0000 autumnlove 1795270@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scary! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795260 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:47:07 +0000 Grace 1795260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it happens a lot, bru has breathable bumpers. They are thin and if babies stand on them they just squish down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795255 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:38:55 +0000 Foodnerd81 1795255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This happened to a friend reecently. They don't have a video monitor so she thought her son was just being fussy but he kept crying so she went to check and his leg was stuck. She was so scared they went to the er but he was fine once he calmed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795252 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:35:10 +0000 Mrs squirreld 1795252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: how scary!!!! I'm glad he's ok!! We use airwrap bumpers here because E was constantly getting stuck. They are a breathable bumper...not sure if you have them in the US? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795231 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:14:47 +0000 Radish 1795231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is rough! LO went through a phase of sticking her legs out for about a month. They were never painfully stuck, but required us to free them. I still personally prefer a stuck leg to other issues that come with bumpers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795221 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:05:59 +0000 immabeetoo 1795221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry! LO did this for a few weeks and we tried bumpers and he just wedged them down :( then one night he magically stopped. It was so nerve wracking not knowing when he'd wake up stuck and screaming though! Hope this was a one time thing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scary-thing-happened-last-night#post-1795216 Sat, 02 Aug 2014 09:03:19 +0000 LAZB 1795216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Scary!

I held my breath for the first 8 months of L's life because we did use one, but it scared me. </p> <p>Around 9 months we took them off because he could move his legs and arms well enough to know how to get out of the rails. </p> <p>Well, last night (he's 1 year now, so we've been sleeping bumperless for a few month with no issue), last night DH and I were sitting on the couch watching tv. I heard L make a peep and, as I always do, popped on the monitor to see if he was still asleep. </p> <p>At first it looked like he was just trying to get comfy, and then I realised that it looked like his legs were in the rails of the crib. </p> <p>We went in and sure enough they were both in the rails, but they were stuck. DH tried for a minute to get the one out and couldn't. It was wedged right in and L was now in tears. I ran into the bathroom and grabbed the soap and ran back to his room and squirted it all over his legs. We did manage to free him but just short of DH ripping the bars off the crib. </p> <p>I am so scared what would have happened if he wouldn't have made that peep or if I wouldn't have checked the monitor, and if the blood had been cut off from his legs for any longer than it was. </p>
