Are Crib Bumper Pads Safe For One-Year-Old Baby?
-
While my own children are plenty old enough to be out of harm’s way (huge sigh of relief!), the controversy irks many families who are expecting or have infants at home. So, we reached out to one of our favorite crib bedding manufacturers – to get her thoughts both as a Mom and as a maker or adorable crib bedding. According to Katy, “As any expecting parent will find, there seems to be pros and cons to everything involving your child… to breast feed or bottle… to swaddle or not…. pacifier or thumb…. the debates are endless! And at the end of the day, each parent decides on what is best for them and their child. There’s no question that the crib bumper pads help finish out a crib, it’s like having a comforter and shams on your master bed. The design aspect is there. But there’s also a practical aspect to them, they protect little arms and feet from slipping between the slats of the crib, and keep peeking eyes from seeing you sneak into the room to make sure they are asleep. But remember, you can take them off the first year, and put them back on after that. Or don’t use them at all! It’s truthfully your choice.”
