Thoughts on weighted sleep bags?

Weighted sleep bags as in something that has pressure on the chest area (like if a hand was on them) are not sleep safe or recommended. Is your baby rolling/showing signs? If not you could still use a swaddle bag or slowly transition (1 hand out). Otherwise it will be something baby needs to just explore/learn and will then pass. They won’t actually be choking (this is silent) but get the gagging and waking up is unpleasant and annoying. Possibly trying a dummy could help, though could also add problems when they fall out etc.

Thank you, I have been going cold turkey on his arms for about 5 nights and neither of us are getting any sleep, I thought hand sucking was self soothing but he just really wakes himself up with it

My son was making himself gag with hands too so I started pulling the built in mitts on the sleep suits over his hands for bed and now if he puts his hand in his mouth, he makes a disgusted face and stops because the texture of the material is very different to the skin he was expecting and he doesn’t like it

When my son was first born, swaddled him then when he hit a month old he started to hate it so I tried him in a sleep bag and he sleep so much better in it
