Crib Bumper Converted!

Baby Cribs are becoming famous and useful in India too. They have been in use for decades in the Western countries...Bumpers were widely used to avoid the babies from bumping thier heads to the rails. However, Pediatricians now a days, dont recommend Bumpers due to Suffocation problems. It is said that Air circulation is restricted if bumpers are used, and quite few children are reported to have fainted in sleep due to suffocation.

Bumpers are sold as part of a crib bedding set, and now they are of not much use in place. But smart Moms are converting bumpers as Wall storage options and Crib rail protectors when babies start teething and bite the top rails of the crib.

Bumpers can be used outside the crib or through a staircase to avoid children from hitting while playing or running around. And they can also be cut up to make Bolster pillows or Soft cubes for play. Some cut up bumpers can be hung as Valances to the Nursery window. And when the child is using the crib as a day bed, that same bumper can be cut into two halves and tied as back rest.
