just wondering.......

i cant remember with my DS as it is nearlly 7 years ago i cant even remember yesterday at the moment. im sure i had a bumper put around the inside of his cot???? i found it the other day and washed it all up, but then i started to think back and realized i may have only used it for 2 weeks or so as i was so petrified of too much in the cot. so i cant remember whether i used it or not........?
what do you guys think? at the moment i just have a mattress with a plastic protector and freshly washed cot sheet thats it, as i was told by someone less is best and im sure thats all i ended up having with DS, but i do have the bumper if i need it..what do you think?
im a bit out of the loop its been 7 years....
love tG
