Crib Bumpers

Anyone who has had a baby in the past 5 or so years and has read anything about having those babies knows that we're not supposed to use crib bumpers.  Young babies can suffocate on them and older babies can use them to stand up on and fall out of their cribs.  They're a big no no.  So we never used one.  Grandma got one for Henry but we never installed it because of all the bad press they'd gotten.  And we never felt like it was the wrong decision.  Little Miss Genevieve, on the other hand, has proven herself to be a little bit different.  I awoke this morning to her SCREAMING and it wasn't the "come get me, mommy" or the "oh man, I'm so mad" or even the "I'm super hungry, please quit ignoring me" cry that I'm used to.  This was, "I'm in pain.  This hurts.  A lot."  I ran up and found her wedged in the back corner of the crib with her chubby little right leg stuck between the crib slats.  And I mean stuck.  I couldn't get it out.  She moves backwards really well nowadays and must have gone back, got a little stuck, then kept pushing backwards in an attempt to get loose.  Poor little thing.  :(  I was, obviously, able to get her loose after a minute or so but I was getting really scared.  So now, against all expert advice, Evie has a crib bumper in her bed.
