you can get a bumper thing called an airwrap that prevents them getting legs etc stuck in bars but are breatheable. We never had anything like that, but I've read about them.. you can get them at the sleep store this is the link to the info on it :)

Caden turfs his pillow out of the cot half the time, but he also snuggles up to it and falls asleep on it.

I personally think bumper pads are fine as long as they are tied on well and are not loose around the cot etc.]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 16:54:16 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=752638&title=bumper-pads#752638 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=752508&title=bumper-pads#752508 Author: Mattsmum

faye- they dont recommend it cause they cant turn their heads or get away if their heads end up stuck against or under things.. ]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 13:20:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=752365&title=bumper-pads#752365 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=752295&title=bumper-pads#752295 Author: FayeG

Hi ladies, is it not safe to use a bumper set for a new born? I didnt realise this and have been looking at bumper sets to buy? ]]> Thu, 20 Aug 2009 12:12:32 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=752295&title=bumper-pads#752295 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=751254&title=bumper-pads#751254 Author: Peanut

We had the same issue so used a bumper andit worked really well. I tried a pillow too and that wasn't so successful.]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2009 10:00:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=751254&title=bumper-pads#751254 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=751180&title=bumper-pads#751180 Author: kiwikid

tee hee you can actually see it in my signature pic I've just realised, I thread it between one set of bars about half way along on each side ]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2009 08:20:17 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=751180&title=bumper-pads#751180 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=751179&title=bumper-pads#751179 Author: kiwikid

Hayden has also had bumpers since he went into cot at 4mths but we did use a safety sleep til 11months so it wasnt an issue. He ends up all over the show now so a pillow would be a waste lol. I think if you are confident that you little one can move around if he got a little wedged then he'll be fine. I actually thread our bumper through the bars and make sure its wedged a few inches below the mattress, as well as tie it on - so its pretty secure.]]> Wed, 19 Aug 2009 08:18:25 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=751179&title=bumper-pads#751179 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750908&title=bumper-pads#750908 Author: Mattsmum

Thanks for the comments.    I didn't think it would be a problem at his age. a pillow could be a nice idea too.]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 19:02:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750908&title=bumper-pads#750908 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750631&title=bumper-pads#750631 Author: lisa85

I agree I think a one year old would be fine. Really SIDS is a combination of things as well. Like having a well ventilated room free of pet hair, smoke free ect. So at the age I doubt very highly a bumper would be a problem.]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:33:54 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750631&title=bumper-pads#750631 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750608&title=bumper-pads#750608 Author: ElfsMum

i would think at 1 it's really safe..we have a wriggler too and so never put them on even though he often ended up at one end!!:( re the pillow we got told none till 2? but he looks weird being so old without a pillow:) ]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:23:30 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750608&title=bumper-pads#750608 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750595&title=bumper-pads#750595 Author: Shezamumof3

Ive used bumper pads right from when Caden went into his cot at 2 months old, have had no issues with them as they are tied on with huge knots.
We also gave him a pillow at about 10 months old.]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 14:14:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750595&title=bumper-pads#750595 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750570&title=bumper-pads#750570 Author: Bizzy

I know bumper pads are not recommended because of their SIDS risk, however my boy is almost 1 and wriggles heaps in his sleep - must take after me   He wriggles so much when he is settling down to sleep that often he will bang his head into the side of the cot and wake himself and the rest of the household up.
Does anyone use bumper pads? I was thinking that they might be OK now that he is older...
Does anyone have any recommendations for how to make them safer?

Thanks]]> Tue, 18 Aug 2009 13:44:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=28178&PID=750538&title=bumper-pads#750538
