Why are we saying good-bye to crib bumper pads? Even though they have long been a part of any respectable nursery bedding collection, the use of bumper pads for the crib have been controversial for quite some time. It's been one of those "To use or not to use. That is the question" kind of situations regarding an infant's safety that are endlessly pondered by new parents.
Loose bedding alone is enough to worry about. The thought of a helpless baby becoming trapped by lovingly placed items that are meant to keep them comfortable and warm as toast is more than anybody with a beating heart can bear.
Baby Cradle Bumpers
Educated mothers, fathers and childcare professionals take every precaution possible to prevent the unthinkable from happening by limiting the items inside a baby's bed. The elimination of cradle and baby bumper pads has been part of the process of making the bed more newborn friendly ever since it was announced several years ago that they were considered unsafe for use.
As with any recommendation, there have been those who resist change. Some cite the facts that crib bumper pads rarely if ever cause problems and that the benefits of cushioning a baby's head from hitting the hard crib rails may outweigh the minimal danger presented by their use.
However, with the recent news that maintaining proper air circulation to a baby there is yet another good reason to kick crib bumper pads to the curb. This leaves a baby who is prone to get those tiny arms and legs stuck between the crib's slats in a little bit of a dilemma, or does it?
There is a product that provides the best of both worlds as far as baby bumper pads are concerned. It is a breathable bumper pad made of a mesh material that keeps a baby from pushing his or her arms and legs out of the crib. The stated benefits are that even if the infant's face is pushed up against the crib bumper pad, the material will not present a suffocation hazard. Another plus is that the material is thin and porous enough to keep that precious air circulating that may be a factor in preventing SIDS.
Necessity is indeed the mother of invention and modern moms are nothing if not savvy and ingenious. With the breathable baby bumper pad they have squashed several nursery safety issues with the breathable bumper pad. It's too thin for baby to stand on to get a boost up and out of the crib, porous to allow baby a fresh flow of air and breathable enough to give moms peace of mind. Now, if they can make the breathable version pretty and include it with popular bedding collections it would be a hit with decorators as well as concerned parents.
