Crib liners are often used as a padded wall that attaches to the edge of your infant’s crib. Many parents enjoy the security crib liners offer as they protect babies from hitting their body against solid wood as they wiggle and turn throughout the night. Various colors and designs are available, but those looking to share the liner between siblings may opt for gender neutral designs. Crib liners vary in terms of their padded fabric, with some offering only a thin sheet versus the extra-padded construction of heavy-duty models. In recent years there has been some debate as to whether crib liners have the potential to suffocate young infants; to ensure your child’s safety, consider purchasing a breathable mesh liner.
