Crib bumpers suck. And here’s why.
(AND… how I solved those problems with a product I found called Wonder Bumpers).
Wonder Bumpers are everything their names states them to be!
My problem started when I began to use cloth diapers with my daughter…she would often leak through leading to lots of sheet changes. This was extremely difficult because the crib bumper would get in the way.
The bumper I was using was really cute (stars design from Pottery Barn) but also has like a billion ties that held it onto the crib rails.
So logically I took it off the crib. Then in the middle of the night I would here “thuds” from my daughters head hitting the exposed rails.
Uh-oh…that’s not good either.
So when I stumbled upon Wonder Bumpers I knew they were the solution I was looking for, but didn’t know existed.
They mount onto each rail via zipper and you will need to count the number of rails that you will need to cover before you order. They do take a little time to install but once its done – you can still easily take the mattress out and change the sheets with no problem.
Best of all..
There is no worries about your little one hitting their head or concern about suffocation from a traditional bumper (although I still feel that this is sorta rare – it is certainly a fear for new parents).

They also have teething guards and sheets in the same soft minky fabric that their bumpers come in to match!

This is a great idea! I wish I had this when my son was still using a crib.
