I read the article and its not really convincing at all. I don't really see bumpers killing a baby EVER! I also don't see the American Academy of Pediatrics saying they recommend the use of bumpers as it is easier and safer to say that they don't recommend it.

I say buy the bumpers but don't use them until they are able to hold their heads up, maybe around 3-5months old. I really cant see a need for them until they are able to roll around the crib/crawl and that would be around 6months and higher.

Rep OP on the crib sheets.Nice find.

Researchers found reports from medical examiners and coroners of 27 accidental deaths of children ages 1 month to 2 years, that were attributed to suffocation when they became wedged against a padded bumper or strangulation by a bumper tie around the neck. Eleven of the infants who died most likely suffocated when their face rested against the bumper pad, 13 infants died when they became wedged between the bumper pad and another object, like the crib mattress, and three infants died when they were strangled by a bumper tie. The conclusion of that study read, "These findings suggest that crib and bassinet bumpers are dangerous. Their use prevents only minor injuries. Because bumpers can cause death, we conclude that they should not be used."
