COT BUMPERS for my baby, or not?
 

I have a seven month old baby boy, who is very active at night time. He sleeps in a cot and rolls around from one end to the other often gettin stuck in the corners or up the side and is constantly banging his head. This often wakes him up and is becoming increasingly frustrating for both baby, and us the parents. I'm interested as who used cot bumpers in the cot? Advice found on the internet, with reference to SIDS says not to use them with a baby under twelve months.

we've used them for my niece aslong as they are tied on properly there shouldnt be a problem poor little thing banging his head :(

we used em on all 4 of ours just make sure they are on tight:thumb:

used em on the first but took em off when he started to wedge his head under them!

didnt bother with the second. They learn where the cot is in proximity to them and stop banging there heads. Another money making ploy for taking cash of new parents

i thought that they were classed as dangerous these days:wonder:

if they are safe then they would be good in the winter for small babies as they keep the giraffes out :thumb:

Have you tried a Babygro? You know, the 'bags' that you use instead of a duvet/blanket? They can't move about so easily then ....

We're lucky. Ours goes to bed and as he's been so hyper all day he just crashes and hardly moves ....

Dave,

He does sleep in a GroBag (as I call it!), but still manages to scoot about. So much that I've thought of setting a webcam up to look at the adventures he must get up to!
