SO... now that hannah is rolling over I need to know....

[sparks19]

Well Hannah has just learned to roll over onto her tummy (and she HATES it BTW lol) A couple of days before she rolled over for the first time I took the bumpers out of her crib.

last night i put her to bed and she was in ther babbling away like usual. Suddenly she started wailing so I went into check on her and sure enough she was rolled onto her tummy and did not like it.

But now that the bumpers are gone... all her wiggling about at night is pushing her binky out and since we have hardwood floors it makes this awful racket and scares me half to death in the middle of the night. Plus since she moves around so much I worry about her leg or arm getting caught in the slats.

SO... is there anything I can use to block the slats but that she will not get her face muffled in if she rolls over?

Can you put the bumpers back?

You can try something like this. I've never used one but I have friends who swear by it

the breathable bumper seems nice....

I never removed my bumpers nor had a problem with them... but the one in the link seems very very nice and reasonably priced for that matter

Wow, I've never seen one like that before, but it looks great. The only
reason I ever used the the bumper pads was so that the baby wouldn't
get an arm or leg tangled up in the bars. This would do the the job.

Sparks, do you place her on her tummy at other times where you could
steady Hannah when she rolls?( let her get used to rolling)

Well she has been rolling from her tummy to her back since she was 6 weeks old lol. Whenever we do tummy time she always rolls onto her back and I have to keep rolling her back onto her tummy. she just does NOT like being on her tummy. even during playtime on her tummy she will only tolerate it for shorts periods of time lol.

Yeah I used the bumpers because I was worried about her arms and legs because she wiggles around so much. but I decided to take them out when she started rolling onto her side and I came in one morning to find her within an inch of having her face buried in one. After that I knew I would never sleep again if I didn't take them out.

That breathable one is awesome. I think we may have to go pick one of those up.

Thanks for the suggestion that would be perfect for what I want.

A binky is a pacifier, right? How about just one of those leashes that attatches it to their clothes?

"They" say that you shouldn't use bumpers in a crib because a baby could smother in it. It seems unlikely but I sure wouldn't want to find out the hard way that it is good advice!
