as a reply to hmarrow.
All of the "Experts" have advised against using them because they say that it is a SIDS hazard, along with anything else in the bed for the first year, i.e. stuffed animals, blankets, etc.
That being said, I decided to use one in my daughter's crib anyway- from the time she started using her crib at 6 months until she was about 2 years old there was a crib bumper in there. I will probably use one in the crib with this next baby, too. You just have to check them often and make sure that they are secure. I won't use loose blankets or stuffed animals for the first year, but I just don't think that the bumpers are as big of a hazard.
I am sure that some people will disagree with me, but that's my opinion. Good luck!
