Just wanted to see if anyone uses the Breathable Baby brand mesh Crib Bumper pad for their cribs? If so, how do you like it and what is your opinion? They recommend not to use bumper pads anymore, but I don't want her arms and legs to be sticking out of the rails either. Also, does anyone have one they are willing to sell? : ) Thanks!

What can I do next?

I am really happy with the breathable bumper I have on our crib. At first I didn't have anything because of the danger of suffication but my daughter kept getting her arms or leg wedged between the rungs. The breathable bumper has solved that problem.

We used one in our daughter's crib until she turned a year old.

Likes:
When my daughter rolled into the side of her crib during the night she had a little padding to knock up against. Not much since the mesh is thin, but I suppose it was better than hitting wood directly. My daughter is a thumb-sucker, but if she had a pacifier the mesh may prevent it from always rolling out of the crib at night.

Dislikes:
My biggest dislikes about it is once we got it on the crib it was a pain whenever I had to change the sheets. I suppose all bumpers are like that though. Also, when she started moving around on her own, she could kick a leg up over the bumper and squash it down so her foot still got stuck in the crib slats.

We had to take it out when she turned one because that is when she started to become most curious about the bumper and would pull at it and try and slide it up and down the crib slats.

***Positive note*** If you buy it new, you can resell it on Ebay for almost what you paid for it.

Hi There J.,
My little one likes to sleep with her face right up against the edge of the bed, so the Breathable Bumper was a must. We are VERY happy with it. It keeps her arms from getting stuck in the bars and we dont have to worry.
When she got to the climbing stage she was not able to use the bumper to assist her in getting out of her crib.
Now that she is in her toddler bed we still use it. It comes in 2 pieces so it can be used for the the 3 sides.
I think you will be very happy with it.
God bless,
T.

I don't have mine anymore, but we were very happy with the breathable bumpers.
