Q&A

Dreamland Baby™ uses only the safest materials. The outer fabric is 100% soft, breathable cotton. Gentle on baby's delicate skin and cool to prevent over-heating. The inner beads are non-toxic, non-recycled poly-pellet beads. This is the same material found in Beanie Babies® or other weighted toys on the market.

0-6 mo is indicated for infants 8 lbs and up (contains 0.8 lbs of beads)

6-12 mo is indicated for infants 15 lbs and up (contains 1.5 lbs of beads)

12-22 mo is indicated for infants 20lbs and up (contains 2.0 lbs of beads)

The 0-6 is 26'' shoulder to toe*

The 6-12 is 30'' shoulder to toe*

The 12-24 is 34'' shoulder to toe*

Remember when comparing to your infant's size these are shoulder to toe measurements, not head to toe. All sizes run true-to-size for each age range. If you are unsure which size to choose, go per your baby's weight before height.

Each size can shrink up to 1'' in the washing machine*

We do not recommend sizing up. Our products run true-to-size. For example, our medium (ages 6-12 months) will fit a baby who is 100% heigh/weight at 12 months. Although some babies weight may be high enough to fit into the next size up, if a portion of the weighted beads are below baby's feet, the product will not be as effective.

Reference out size chart below. We also have a size quiz on our homepage to help you choose the perfect product for your baby.

Although there is no way to prevent the 4 month sleep regressions, there are techniques to manage your baby waking up more frequently in the night or taking shorter naps. This blog post provides tips on getting your baby through the 4 month sleep regression.  

Many babies see incredible sleep success the first night, while others take up to one week to adjust their sleep patterns. Consistency (nap and bedtime) is key when introducing something new to baby's bedtime routine.

Both! We recommend using Dreamland Baby for all sleep. There is no need to “save” Dreamland Baby for nighttime sleep. In fact, the more consistent, the better. As baby gets use to the gentle weight, she will form a positive sleep association to her weighted sleep sack. Each time she sees Dreamland Baby, it will serve as a sleep cue, signaling that it's time to go to bed.

Yes. The gentle weight is 10% or less body weight and will not restrict movement or weigh baby down. Baby can roll, sit, stand; anything baby can do in a non-weighted sleep sack.

It is safe to use Dreamland Baby™ with your tummy or stomach sleeper. Baby can roll, sit-up, stand-up, etc (anything baby could do in a non-weighted sleep sack). Dreamland Baby™ is only weighted on the front, the back of the garment is like a regular, non-weighted sleep sack.

Adults and children have both come to appreciate the soothing, deep-touch pressure that feels like the gentle hug of a parent. Our Dream Weighted Sacks and Swaddle offers a safe, gentle option for infants who are between 0-22 months old. With a carefully crafted design that rests weight only on the front of the blanket, the Dream Weighted Sacks and Swaddle encourages back and side sleeping for more restful, rejuvenating bedtime for your little one.

Weighted baby blankets work by providing sensory integration, a therapeutic practice that helps sleepers focus on sensory experiences, like the warmth and comfort of a blanket. The deep-touch pressure provided by the Dream Weighted Sacks and Swaddle can help soothe anxiety and encourage the body’s self-regulation for calming slumber. The 100% soft, natural cotton of our Dream Weighted Sacks and Swaddle provides overall temperature regulation of the fabric. Each one is created with gentleness and convenience in mind, which includes two-way zipper for quick and easy diaper changes during those long nighttime hours.

Enjoy the science of deep-touch pressure and its comforting effects with the quality of materials and designs that make for safe, non-toxic products. Each Dream Weighted Sacks and Swaddle has the potential to increase serotonin and melatonin in the body for longer, happier slumber, whether it’s in the middle of the night or the middle of a daytime nap.

Yes! As a mom of four, safety was my # 1 consideration during the development of our wearable weighted blanket. Dreamland Baby was developed in partnership with pediatricians, NICU nurses and certified sleep consultants. We pulled research from a clinical study demonstrating weighted blankets are safe weighted blankets are safe for newborns, significantly increase calm feelings and improve sleep patterns. Our products are safety certified, have passed all Consumer Product Safety Commission standards, doctor approved, and the International Hip Dysplasia Institute acknowledges the Dreamland Baby Weighted Swaddle as a “hip-healthy” product when used as directed.

Dreamland Baby™ is made of a light weight, breathable 100% cotton fabric. The inner beads do not affect how hot or cool baby feels- this is dependent on the fabric. Our products are designed to be worn year round in both warm and cool climates. In the summer we recommend something light like bodysuit. In the winter we recommend something heavier and warmer like fleece pajamas.
