I have heard different views on the use of bumper pads for a child's crib. Are they safe or mostly used for decoration?
Bumper pads are not safe at all. Don't use them. We used them for our son. He was kind of weird about it too. He HAD to sleep with his face against the bumper or he'd have a had time sleeping. We just make sure that its tied really securly so there is no question about if he can pull it off and somehow hurt himself with it. It's really up to you. Doctors and experts will say they aren't needed, but if your baby is hitting his head or anything like that, I'd use them at least until he's a little older.
