Cot death and bumpers

Hi all,
Does any one use a bumper in their babies cot? My lo is still young and doesnt roll around yet, ive read in the leaflets about cot death that you shouldnt use them so what about the baby bumping its head on the bars of the cot??

  • i used a cot bumper but tbh it was more for decor than for stopping bumps! just amke sure that theyr're tided on with double knots on the outside of the cot and that they're tucked in well at the bottom.


    the risks about overheating I didn't get, as the bumper goes at the top and you put them to sleep at the bottom of the cot so there's plenty of air to circulate around there...


    I wouldn't worry about heads bumping the bars tbh, when they get to that stage it usually means they need a bigger cot/bed not more padding... xx
