OP Updated: weighted blanket night 1 (thanks Gina!)

[Gena]

I'm so glad you are having success with your weighted blanket!

DS has been using his weighted blanket for just over a year and we still love it. (He has an 8lb twin size.) DS does go through phases of sleep difficulties, but overall the weighted blanket helps him sleep through the night and sleep in his own bed. It has made a huge difference in our lives.

We take the weighted blanket with us when we travel (we travel by car, so packing is not an issue). It has been an amazing help for getting DS to sleep well in hotels, at relatives' houses, etc.

The blanket is still in great shape despite constant use, repeated washings, and even getting vomited on. It has definitely been worth the investment for us.

That is great news!

another good night! He actually peed in his bed at 530 am. This is crazy -- means he was asleep SOUNDLY at that time. That just doesn't happen. He NEVER pees in his bed because he is always semi awake I think. Anyway this makes it 5 nights in a row of good sleep. He is also a lot happier/easier.

Good news!!!

Out of curiosity, do you think part of it is that he actually keeps the weighted blanket on so is warmer at night? I bought younger DD a heated mattress pad when she turned 4 and I can't even tell you how much her sleep improved afterwards!
