I have been a long time lover of the company CuddleBug. Their Baby Wraps and Swaddles were the very first items that Josephine was wrapped up in when she was born. Well, now they are launching their new product! A much, much needed Weighted Blanket!!
So I’ve never had a weighted blanket before, but the minute I opened this 15lbs blanket from CuddleBug and draped it over myself…. I exclaimed “so this is what it feels like to be swaddled like a baby”!!! The weight surrounding my entire body was just so comforting. The deep pressure this blanket produces is akin to being embraced in a big, warm, hug, which stimulates the production of serotonin and melatonin levels, two naturally calming chemicals in the body. As a result, you’ll fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer embraced in that giant hug. They use a grid-like pattern to evenly distribute the pellets to specifically target pressure points throughout your body. This mimics the benefits of deep touch therapy which has been shown to help ease anxiety and increase oxytocin in the brain to help you feel more relaxed, it makes so much sense. These days anxiety, insomnia, or just lack of productive sleep from being a mom, are such common occurrences. I love that this is a natural way to help combat these problems. Not sure why I waited so long to get one!
Sooooooo while I may still only be getting 5 or 6 hours of sleep each night (I know I need to up that, soon, soon, maybe, hopefully) at least now with this weighted blanket it is some kind of wonderful deep productive sleep.

Oh and here are a few photos of Josephine in other CuddleBug products, their wraps and swaddles are just the best. I never can resist an excuse to post some itty bitty Josephine photos 😉
