Madelyn is starting to roll over in her sleep and is getting caught up in the bars of the crib and waking up at night. I am not sure what to do about this since Megan never slept in her crib. Is a crib bumper the answer?

I don't know if a bumper is your answer.  There's a very good chance that she'll just get tangled up in that as well as the bars of the crib.

I had a bumper for Addie and she never had a problem with it.  I did make sure to stuff it in between the crib and the mattress at the bottom so she couldn't get up under it.  If your mattress fits correctly, it should be a really tight fit and keep her from getting up under it.  It worked for Addie because she didn't move around too much when she was sleeping.  Hopefully someone else will have a better idea for you though.

I had some nice deep handmade bumper pads  which I tied tightly  to corners of crib   and middle  .. Its never trapped a babe I know yet Tho Must be properly tied ... Sheets  over sides  of cribs if you can fit them to not be pulled off ... Im not personally that creative  but once saw  mom had done it  .. Bothered me as I couldnt see in crib

I went no bumper for awhile and experienced the same (getting stuck and waking) then put my bumper on.

It worked for me and like others have said, make sure that it is secure and DD can't get tangled.

I've only heard amazing things about this company. My girls never got stuck in the sides of the cirb. I took this from their website... check out the picture... may be just what you need.

Why a wedge-shaped bumper?

Traditional crib bumpers look great, but they have drawbacks. Some safety organizations say padded bumpers pose a SIDs risk. They can also help babies climb out of a crib. Plus, they make changing the sheets a big hassle!

CozyWedge bumpers fit snugly around the crib, won't slip down and are easy to remove for sheet changing. They cushion the crib for your baby but they have a safer, firm surface that won't form a pocket around a baby's mouth and nose. The shock-absorbing foam is the same foam used in swimming noodles, and is totally nonabsorbent, CFC-free and odorless. The slipcovers are completely washable.

My lilest one always found ways to get  tangled in em donr know how but she did my son was really good withem so u never know till u try 

They make a mesh one that you weave through the bars. I know you can get it at babies-r-us.

I always used a traditional one, but I know those are supposedly not safe, but I, too, hated that my kids' feet would get stuck in the bars. 

 

My little one had the same problem so I did a search for something to help and found a Crib Shield it worked great.  Highly recommended!!!  Crib Shields are the way to go.
