Do you use Cot Bumpers?

[neshxb]

I didn't use any cot bumpers for my baby because I read about the SID in parenting magazines. Also I think the cot bumper decreases air circulation in the cot.

i've always used a cot bumper purely to block out the direct air circulation from the air-cond (too hot without, too cold with), so it worked well..I had those hard cylindrical pillows too, and my baby lay on her side so that her head shape would be OK and she wouldn't choke on her vomit...anyhow, that was the recommendation from QM, I know there are different theories...my daughter didn't move much so I guess it didn't make too much of a difference...

They're not recommended. We don't use them.

 

[shuchisingh]

no... we have never used them.

We got the airwrap. It's mesh so let's the air circulate (better to prevent SIDS) and keeps little arms and legs from poking through. Also got the regular bumpers for when baby is older (much cuter too!). Think I saw airwrap at B2B the other day.

i am thinking do i need one for she, but after reading all of your comments, is it not good to use it?

i saw most of my friends use it, but haven't heard they got any big problem on it

No - have been following the Gina Ford recommendation to have nothing in the cot except for the baby until he's totally mobile.

 

[lesliefu]

yes - have for all three of my kids...
