Crib bumpers have been connected to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, so don’t use the bumpers that are with your crib set! Crib bumpers can be a dangerous way to give your child an extra boost, once they reach climbing age. Bumpers are a bad idea, no matter how cute they are, when it comes to baby girl and baby boy bedding.
Take stuffed animals, pillows and other dangerous items out of the crib before placing the baby in the crib. It is alright for a child to have toys in the crib as long as they are not falling asleep.
