Crib help.... Bumpers?

A couple of weeks ago Wes started getting his knee stuck in between the crib slats. It's tight, so he can't get it out but I pretty easily can. After a few nights of that I dug out the bumpers to see if they would help since he's past the SIDS risk. It helped for about two days, but they easily push down .... Probably so he can't use them to climb out of the crib... So he's doing the same thing and now has a nasty bruise on one leg.... Any solutions besides a toddler bed. I don't think he's ready at only 17 months old today. Or if that's really the only solution... Talk me into it. Thanks for any help and ideas!!

  • Sorry. Apparently paragraphing disappears when using an iPad!

  • Hmmm that's a tough one. I'd leave the bumpers off, and hopefully he'll stop, maybe its a phase? LOL Els only 16mths so I'm not much help. What about taking the one side off and trying the small half rails? Is that possible?
  • how about a body pillow up against the rails?

  • We switched to the toddler bed around 20 months and it was no big deal at all.  I was terrified because she's such a bad sleeper, but it was easy.

  • Yes the rail is possible.  Our older little guys front is off and we put a safety rail in it's place.  GL w. whatever you decide :)
  • We're trying the body pillow tonight. The crib changes to a toddler bed, so I may just try it if this doesn't work. We can always switch it back if it doesn't work out.
