"Hello moms! Has anyone had experience with Dreamland Weighted Baby Swaddles? I've read some articles suggesting they might not be safe, but I'm wondering if anyone has tried them with their babies. My 2-month-old daughter is having trouble sleeping, and I'm considering trying them, but I want to make sure they're safe. Thank you for any advice you can

Yes! My son has been using it for a couple weeks now and most of the time loves it! I have the swaddle version of it(Velcro swaddle inside sack) and it’s the only thing he couldn’t break of of easily. Some naps he tried so hard to break out of it out of frustration but is easily able to put back to sleep. I’ve had no issues or worries with the sack doing anything negative to him or his sleep

I have been using the weighted sleep sack for my daughter since six weeks. We also use the Owlet sock with her and I haven’t noticed any decreases in heart rate or oxygen levels. The sleep sack does not feel excessively heavy to me.

I used the dreamland with my firstborn starting around 6 months and bought one for my 6 week old but returned it after the product recall that just went out. Prior to 6 months felt too risky and I saw the fabric ride up over her nose and mouth a few times because of how the swaddle band fits. We will probably revisit it when she’s closer to 6 months like her brother.

We used them but he was 7 months and we didn’t use very long. 2 months seems way too young for that kind of weight. ESP if she accidentally rolled over. SIDS is always my first concern for a baby that little.
I’m assuming you’ve tried to swaddle her?

Yes I swaddle her

At the risk of giving unsolicited advice, you will drive yourself crazy trying to hack your newborns sleep with this product or that. In reality, newborns are unpredictable and constantly changing. You’ll think you figured it out for a few days or even a week and then BAM, they’re suddenly not sleeping again. This continues throughout the first few years of their lives with regular sleep regressions, but it’s the worst during the first few months. My advice as a second time mom is just to lean in and survive it 🤷🏽♀️
