There are now new forms of crib bumper pads with some having a breathable mesh design. These crib bumper pads are safe to use for children aged 1-year-old and above.
The crib bumper pads are flexible and your toddler can breathe even if their face is pressed against them.
Crib bumper pads are safe to use, but you have to select the right crib for a 1-year-old baby. Below are what you should do to keep your baby safe:
1. Make sure your baby is swaddled.
2. Don’t place blankets, pillows, or padding that may get close to your baby’s face.
3. Dress the baby warmly or you can adjust the room temperature to ensure the little one is as warm and safe as possible.
