Help with bumper pads

[mary b]

I know this may sound stupid, but I need help! My daughter is 8 months old and very active. We took down her bumper pads a couple months ago because she was pulling them down too much. Anyway, now she is has a couple bruises on her legs from not having the padding and moving around so much. Does anyone have any suggestions on padding I can put up that will be sturdy or a different bumper that I could get? Thanks for your help.

I know of someone who wove the bumper pads tightly in and out of the crib slats. This might help some while reducing the problem of her pulling down on them. I don't know of any other options for padding, sorry.

I am wondering if you found a good solution? I am now having this same problem with my baby. She wedged one her legs so tightly between two crib slats this morning she could have very easily hurt herself. Any thoughts are appreciated!
