Step 23Safety First -- Cover the Railing Posts
When the rail is opened and closed, the moving vertical posts can trap little hands, arms and legs between them. A crib bumper such as the Breathable Baby Bumper (Babies'R'Us item 2529738) can protect against this when your baby is small.
Tie off a free end to the far end of the moving rail, tie off the center of that side at the middle on the fixed rail (you'll need to sew a fabric ribbon onto the bumper), and again at the corner of the fixed rail. When the rail is opened, the bumper will flex and fold, keeping the rail posts covered.
The bumper is not a substitute for observation and common sense. Make sure you know where your baby is and what she is doing, before you start to open the rail and the entire time you're doing so.
