I don’t just mean her legs were sticking through a little, I mean all the way to her thighs. At first I was kind of freaked out about it, but when I checked on her, I realized that she was fine and had not hurt herself.

When I mentioned it to my wife, she said “Oh yeah! I forgot to tell you, she did that yesterday too”. Now, I know the baby didn’t hurt herself since the slats were far enough apart, not to cut off her circulation or anything like that, but I was still worried that she would eventually hurt herself.

It then suddenly occurred to me why people put bumpers in cribs. We didn’t have any bumpers since the doctor and the Infant CPR class we took said they are dangerous due to suffocation possibilities. So now I was stumped. I needed bumpers, but am hyper protective of little Alexandria and I wasn’t going to take any chances.

I hit the web and started searching. I ultimately found theBreathableBaby Crib Bumper . It is a mesh fabric that is quite soft and gentle on the baby. Since it’s mesh, even if the baby presses her face against it, she’ll still be able to breathe through it, thereby eliminating the risk of suffocation that traditional puffy crib bumpers have. I ordered it and paid about $30.

We installed it. We ordered the pink color which is a soft pleasant color that goes with her other pink accessories in her room. They also have blue, white, and green colors.

Installation was easy. It has velcro on the sides, so you just wrap the end around the crib slats and secure with the velcro.

It looks nice, prevents baby Alex from sticking her arms or legs through the crib slats, and most importantly is safe for her.
