Cot bed bumper.

[Jamesdadof8]

So our son just over three months is due to move into his cot from Moses basket, we’ve bought a mamas and papas collection, but now noticed they don’t seem to sell the cot bumper sets? Do they tend to be a universal size? Or will I need to get a precise size? Any suggestions where they have them in stock to look at? His nursery is Dumbo themed so would like to get a matching set. Thanks all.

Cot bumpers are not recommended as they are a SIDS risk

They’re also a strangulation risk. Don’t buy a cot bumper. They are totally unnecessary.

Cot bumpers and mentioned twice here. Once under suffocation risks and again under strangulation risks.

Cot bumpers are dangerous. Implicated as risk factors for both sudden unexpected death in infants and strangulation.

Thank you for your responses, I wasn’t aware of the risks, with reputable companies selling them I presumed they were safe, with having one on the Moses basked. We will give it a miss and thankfully I asked the advice here before hand. He’s just thrashing around in his cot, and we didn’t want him to bang his head. Thanks again all.

It's actually a pity OP as the companies don't care. A midwife I knew emailed a big chain when she saw them selling a known dangerous product, the owner of this chain came back and said it wasn't his job to educate people. Quite disgusting really.
