Think I’ll is a sock filled with rice or beens and see if that helps at al. </p> <p>@peachykeen: I have my doubts about something staying on his back but it is worth a try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897887 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 09:12:36 +0000 peachykeen 2897887@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would definitely be open to a bean bag, but my daughter wouldn't have kept it on her back at 13 months :wink: We recently invested in Kyte Baby sleep sacks which are heavier than the usual Halo/A+A ones we'd been using with both our girls, and the extra weight/coziness seems to help DD2 sleep better. Look for a sale if you go for these - they're expensive full price! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897881 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 08:43:19 +0000 graceandjoy 2897881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At a year old I wouldn't have a problem trying that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897872 Thu, 26 Sep 2019 08:06:09 +0000 erinbaderin 2897872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My parents did this with my brother, but with, in their own words, "a giant heavy pillow". At 13 months I would have no problem with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897859 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 22:22:22 +0000 ALV91711 2897859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Jess1483: I was looking at those earlier today. I was trying to see if I could find one second hand since I’m just back working and money is tight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897857 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 21:51:30 +0000 Jess1483 2897857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nested bean makes weighted sleep sacks. I wouldn’t use them for a tiny baby, but I’d feel comfortable at a year. All their advertising shows it on the tummy, but they say kids can wear them backwards. I’d feel better with this because it isn’t loose in the crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897853 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 20:33:31 +0000 ALV91711 2897853@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Petitduck: a been bag is a good idea, then I could leave it there when I’m sleeping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897851 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 20:29:53 +0000 Petitduck 2897851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would and have done the same as your daycare. I don’t keep it on all night. I have put a pillow on my kid for naps and it worked out great the few times I did it. I just watched on the monitor. I did think about sewing a bean bag and then I could put that on their back and leave it, but I never got around to it. It’s the same idea as that nested bean sleep sack but on the back. Makes sense as a comfort measure to me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/weighted-something-on-back-to-help-sleep#post-2897845 Wed, 25 Sep 2019 19:38:57 +0000 ALV91711 2897845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS2 is coming up on 13 months and not a great sleeper. He started daycare 3 weeks ago and night sleep got worse. The last few days he’s been having great naps at daycare. I asked their secret and the put a stuffy on his back and then remove it once’s hes sleeping. If around the hour mark he starts stirring they put it back on and he goes back to sleep. </p> <p>I am comfortable with this since they are supervising the babies sleeping. </p> <p>Would you try something like this at home for nighttime sleep? </p>
