Weighted swaddle?

Question

Does anyone use a weighted swaddle? My daughtet falls asleep when my husband puts his hand on her chest so we were thinking a weighted swaddle would be good! What is your experience? Reviews?

Answer

Nested Bean sleepsack - used it with my daughter and loved it!

Answer

We just got the dreamland baby sleep sack we aren’t swaddling anymore but they have a detachable swaddle so they can grow with it. Our baby was the same liked having a hand on his chest and he has slept great with the new sleep sack.

Answer

I seriously swear by nested bean sleep sacks

Answer

Totally no judgement here if you do decide to try a weighted swaddle but  was going to do something similar and then I read that they aren’t sleep safe. The companies that sell them claim they are AAP approved but the way they get around that is that yes they are approved when it comes to flammability, design, etc, but they are not approved when it comes to using a weighted material. Apparently the weight can restrict breathing on baby’s chest. Just be careful if you do decide to do it! It’s a great concept but for me personally I’m not comfortable.

I read a tip about filling a plastic glove with rice and leaving on babies tummy - they think it’s a parents hand!
