I would never use a regular bumper with the information that is out there now, its just not worth the risk to me, IMPO. For the record, a common misconception is that the baby will roll into them and suffocate and thats actually not the SIDS danger they pose at all. I used the breathable with DS, and plan on it with this one. I am probably going with separates this time around bc with DS #1, the set was such a waste. I virtually paid $200 for a sheet and crib skirt.
ITA, it's not the risk of suffocation, they restrict air flow through the crib.
I'm not being fresh when I ask this.... but, babies don't get enough air since the crib doesn't have a roof or ceiling?
Well they say bumpers block the circulation of air but that's why I put a ceiling fan so air circulates
ohh got it! Thanks!

I don't know, it's the same reason they recommend fans in the room. This os from the AAP:
Rebreathing of stale air is another concern with crib bumper pads. The bumper reduces the flow of fresh air around baby during sleep, particularly if his or her face is very close to the bumper. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that some infants, when they are overheated or lack sufficient oxygen during sleep, are unable to arouse themselves enough to prevent death. Re-breathing of stale air may be a contributing factor to SIDS.
In the official AAP policy statement on SIDS suggests that some babies are more prone to SIDS due to biological factors such as brainstem development or serotonin levels. However, the policy statement indicates that "more than one scenario of preexisting conditions and initiating events may lead to SIDS." It goes on to say that we cannot focus on only one potential cause for SIDS, because there isn't likely to be just one cause. We cannot know ahead of time whether a baby is predisposed to SIDS due to biological reasons. What we can do, and what AAP suggests, is to reduce all of the other environmental risk factors, including the use of crib bumpers.
I will add all of my IRL friends use bumpers, but I don't feel comfortable with them.

its bc it keeps the exhaled carbon dioxide near the face, and therefore babies are not inhaling fresh oxygen and rebreathing the exhaled carbon dioxide, and their O2 levels drop. This is why they also suggest always keeping a window cracked or fan on to keep the air moving. Its also why the back to sleep campaign has significantly lowered SIDS risks, bc its keeps the babies face off the mattress and their inhaling and exhaling motions are done in free air and not exhaled air that gets trapped around the mattress.So, you just never know how well your baby will tolerate the rebreathing of the carbon dioxide and to me, thats not a risk Im willing to take for a bumper. No baby has ever died from not having a bumper in their crib.
IMO, kids used to ride in cars for years in moses baskets lying on the backseats and most survived, but today would you put your baby in a car without a carseat now that you know there are better measures you can take to protect them? Im not being judgmental towards those that use a bumper, just giving you another way to look at in case you hadnt thought of it.
In the words of Maya Angelou - "when you know better, you do better."
Just food for thought, that's all.

well now that you dragged Maya Angelou into it....
Thanks for the food for thought, I was simply just confused about the top of the crib situation. I hope I make Maya proud
