Has Anyone Used A Weighted Blanket For Their Child. I Want To Get One But They Are Expensive.

Just wanted to know if anyone has used a weighted blanket for their child. I think Makayla would really benefit from one. They are expensive, but i may ask my mom and dad if they would go in on one with me.

I have a blanket. It didn't work as well as I had hoped with our son. Ask your OT what their opinion is. Mine had some useful advice but overall I was glad we borrowed it instead of investing in one.

I borrowed a blanket from an OT and Bailey did not like the weight on her while sleeping, so did not order one. She also hates the vest. It would be nice if you could borrow one before you buy.

I have purchased mine from Dream catcher weighted blankets. They make beautiful blankets that really last.
