The real reply from the in-app AI advisor
Pediatricians generally don't recommend using sleep bumpers (crib bumpers) with newborns or small babies. The most important reason is that if baby's face presses against the bumper, airflow can be restricted and may increase the risk of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
Accepted principles for a safe sleep environment:
- The crib where baby sleeps should have no soft objects (pillows, comforters, toys, thick blankets, crib bumpers).
- Baby should always be placed on their back.
- Crib sheets should be pulled tightly, and the mattress should be firm.
