We use the breathable bumper which I think is fine. Now my daughter loves to snuggle against it so I think the bumper has become her lovey!

I know the recommendations but we put bumpers on her crib when she was about 4.5 months old. She was banging her head against the railings and getting her arms and legs stuck in between. She was already rolling both ways in her sleep and had slept with a lovey with no problem so I felt comfortable that if they became a problem she would either cry or roll away from them.

We do have bumpers. We needed something because our son kept getting his legs stuck in between the slats of his crib and it was ruining his night time sleep. We happened to have them around because they came with a set I bought so I threw them on the crib. He started sleeping snuggled next to them, like they are his lovey, so I don't want to take them away from him and I feel like he's old enough that we are safe.

We have breathable bumpers. However, I am a naughty, naughty mommy put blankets in... and right now my 22 month old is sleeping on a full size pillow with a fleece blanket wadded up down at the end of the crib. I waited quite a while before putting in the blankets though, till she was old enough when I knew she would flail them off (and she always has...).

I have the bumpers in the crib. I've had them up since DS was about 8 months and he was knocking his head against the rails., much like geekinheels's daughter. This is one of those things that I did out of desperation, the mesh bumpers work for keeping the limbs in the crib, but don't help on the head knocking.
