But which one is the best? If you want to add color to your nursery and keep with your nursery design, then crib rail cover made of fabric will be best suited for you. Not only is it softer to teethe on, it also provides padding around the hard bars and railings just in case your baby tumbles around. Choosing crib rail cover made of fabric is also beneficial because it absorbs moisture quicker (teething = lots of drooling!), and it's widely available and easy to clean.
