  Looking for advice from experienced moms, I've been going back and forth on this trying to decide if we need crib bumper pads or not. Some say they are not safe and risk for SIDS (but what isn't), others say the mesh ones are great, others say they are useless because baby can just stick legs up and over them.

  I used crib bumper pads once my first baby was about 6 months and could roll/squirm around in the crib - as a result of all the moving around she'd ditch her pacifiers over the side of the crib, between the bars. We used crib bumper pads for our first when he was really moving around well. Likely around 6 months but I can't remember exactly. With our second I chose not to get the pads but got mesh ones. He slept with his head pressed against the crib bars until we moved him to his big boy bed a couple weeks ago. He didn't have any marks on his head.
