We use ours too, when she is awake in her crib she loves looking at the animals on it. In the last few weeks she has really started to move around in her sleep and gets herself stuck up in the corner and screams bloody murder till we put her back in the middle (just for it all to happen again a few hours later).
My LO also sleeps on her belly, and has since she was a month old, she just wasn't happy on her back. After speaking with the pediatrician, we decided to try it and she has slept 8+ hours a night since.
so I might be the worst...bumper AND a belly sleeper.

I think crib bumpers are so cute but we don't own one. We just bought a fitted sheet and bedskirt from Land of Nod.

we plan to not use bumpers. I think we would rather take our chances with her hitting her head/arms/legs on the crib rather than the possible risk of her being suffocated... we'll see how that works out for us

the bed set we ordered has the bumper. i've heard that kids get their arms stuck in the cribs, so i think i'll use our bumpers. i guess i'll just make sure there's no string or anything lying around?

We kind of split the difference and use a breathable bumper. It keeps him from getting stuck, but it doesn't really help with bumps and what not.

We use a breathable bumper. I'm too paranoid for the other kind.

@pipers mommy - add me to the "bad mommy" list because we totally used our crib bumper since we brought our DD home, AND she's been sleeping on her belly (for naps) since she was 1-month too. for nighttime sleep we swaddled and she was on her back.... but as soon as we transitioned her from her swaddle she was a belly sleeper all the way.

Never used one. My son is 9.5 months and certainly moves all over his crib at night but has never hurt himself doing so. I can't ignore the SIDS risk.

We purchased a bumper and are going to use it, but don't plan on putting our little one in the crib until she is at least four months old (and her SIDS risk is greatly decreased).

We use a breathable bumper which works just fine.

I'm so glad someone posted this. Our bedding set came with a bumper and I plan to use it until LO can roll over, then I'll probably switch to a breathable one or leave it off if LO is a good sleeper.

I feel as though it might be more of a suffocation risk than a SIDS risk..I just read a (sad) story about a baby who died of SIDS just in his rock n' play..nothing near his face.

anyway, I was bumping because we're not buying a whole set I don't think (as sad as this makes me because the one we want is SO cute..) but I registered for a mesh bumper, and I'm thinking of buying a $30 Carter's soft pink one. I know quite a few people that use it without problems, so I'm just torn.

I've read some negative reviews about the mesh ones..anyone shed some light? i read on bru that they're hard to attach and sag?

I don't plan to nor do I plan to buy a whole crib set. They're too expensive in my opinion. And I'm jut not a matchy matchy person.. I just have sheets and I bought a mesh bumper so her limbs won't get stuck between the rails.
