Anyone heard of using a 'Weighted Blanket' ?

Dylan had colic and although he seemed to hate being swaddled it did help him especially with the morro reflex where their arms and legs move alot.

Desiree I have only seen the bean bag hand thingy which I guess would be the same as the blanket. sounds good so give it a try.

Nope never heard of it. As long as he won't be able to move down and then can't get out?

I never swaddled my kids either. I think babies hate it cause you wrap their hands 'away' and most babies like to have their hands moving and by their faces etc.

I was in Dischem yesterday and I saw this weighted baby blanket - which apparantly helps keep baby feeling snug and similar to the way he felt in the womb, like when he is swaddled. Anyway, my Connor hates being swaddled - so now I'm thinking of getting this blanky, has anyone else heard of this weighted blanket? I did some research on the net, and there are positive comments about it!
