crib bumper...

[MrsRV]

has anyone managed to buy one of those mesh breathable cot bumpers for a swinging crib (solid ends)??? can only seem to find them to fit a cot/cotbed???

You don't need a bumper on a crib.

I had mesh bumper on the cot but not on the crib, I don't think you need them for a crib.

never used bumpers on a crib or cot

I only put my bumpers up in the cot when DS was 9 month old. As he was sticking his foot out or turning in his sleep and hitting the wall

You don't really need one until they are in the cot bed

Jojo maman bebe sell the mesh bumpers. The whole point of them is that even if the baby happens to move up against it he or she can still breathe.

Without it we ground the baby's arms or legs would get caught outside the cot.

I used air wrap on a swinging crib, as both dd's used to get their arms stuck between the bars, and they seemed to sleep better a bit more closed in. I have the air wrap that comes in two long pieces intended for the long sides of a cot. The Velcro strips on them extend a long way along the air wrap so there's just a longer folded back section than you'd have on a cot. Hope that makes sense.

tedglen that's just what I wanted to know!! Thanks ever so much. Have put DD in the crib with no sides & her little hands and arms are already sticking through the bars so not particularly happy about that!

I have a cot bumper on the crib and thinking of buying the bumpsters cot bar pads for when our dc goes into the cot bed or can start to roll over.

With the airwrap mesh you can weave it to shorten it a bit.
