Alright, what do you need? Noes, frida, lotion, diaper wrap, cream, wipes, wipes, more wipes, hot socks, more burp cloth, lotion. Alright, there's all this stuff for newborns, but there's gotta be things that you don't need. And I say there's gotta be things because there are indeed things that you don't need for your newborn. And we're gonna talk about one of those items right now. There, there we go. Okay. Hey, this is John with Fathercraft. As a parent of a newborn, it's easy to get overwhelmed by the seemingly endless number of things that you need to take care of your baby. So, to help ease your mind, we're gonna talk about one thing that you absolutely do not need. And that is crib bumpers. So why you might ask? The AAP, which is an extremely reputable source on all things baby and toddler. In fact, they actually wrote the book on babies and toddlers. Highly recommend that you decide against using this item in your baby's crib. So for those of you who don't know, crib bumpers are soft, pilly linings that wrap around the inside of your crib that basically create a barrier between the bars of the crib and your baby. Due to the potential suffocation hazards, the risk of sids, which is sudden, in fit depth syndrome, dramatically increases when you introduce crib bumpers to your baby's crib. Simply put, they're dangerous. And so the AAP recommends against them full stop. A secondary argument, if you'd like one, is that crib bumpers are basically useless. If you think about it, a point of fact, your newborn is as immobile as it gets. I know that some babies can be wiggly, but it's not as if they're slam dancing around their crib or anything. So you don't really need to worry about them going full steam into one of your crib railings and doing damage to themselves. All right, well, we hope this eases your mind just a little bit. Just one less thing you have to worry about getting as you're preparing your home and your baby's room for the arrival of your baby.
