Many parents have been using a weighted blanket to keep their children sleep soundly at night. When you have a toddler or older children, this can be a good idea. But a weighted blanket is not advised for a baby under 12 months old since the blanket weight is not 10% of the baby weight. However, if you have been struggling with your baby throwing night fits, you come to the right place.
We have compiled a list of blankets and sleeping sacks that are as comforting as being in a hug. They may not be actual weighted blankets but they work just the same. And better yet, they are made for babies.
