FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WEIGHTED BLANKET

The Weighted Blanket uses Deep Pressure Stimulation (DPS), which according to research has a number of positive effects on the body. It provides a calming and relaxing effect, increased sleep quality, better handling of disturbing impressions from the immediate environment and less hyperactivity. In addition, research points that DPS can have a positive impact on reducing symptoms associated with anxiety and sensory challenges.
 
The Weighted Blanket is designed for children aged 12 months to 7 years, who can can turn around by themselves from stomach to back and back again. The blanket weighs 3 kilos. The weight has a calming effect when sleeping, snuggling, or on the sofa when the child is getting ready for bedtime.
Moonboon’s Weighted Products have been developed in collaboration with sleep experts and are safety tested against the European Safety Standard: EN 16779-1_2018. The products are safe to use, and provide a pleasant sleeping experience. In accordance with European Safety Standards, the Weighted Blanket may only be used by children who are 12 months or older. The child must be able to turn themself from stomach to back and back again. This is particularly important when the child uses the product in connection with sleep.

The potential advantages of Weighted Products vary from child to child. Like in every other respect, children are different.

Weighted Products have been used for many years by children with sensory processing difficulties, e.g. autism and ADHD, to help them regulate their sense impression and establish a feeling of calm and relaxation.

According to experts, Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) can stimulate the body to produce the hormone serotonin, which affects our mood, lowers the stress hormone cortisol and increases the levels of the hormone melatonin, which helps you sleep.

This way, Weighted Products have been developed to help children settle down and feel safe, which is a condition for being able to fall asleep.

The sensory advantages for the body could be: 

  • sense of calmness 

  • a sense of relaxation 

  • a hug-like sensation 

  • fewer disruptive impressions for babies 

  • easier to sit down and be organised 

  • increased focus on attention 

  • less hyperactivity 

  • reducing the symptoms associated with anxiety and sensory processing difficulties 

  • fulfilling the need for sensory stimulation and thus relieving sensory-seeking behaviour. 

 

Moonboon's Weighted Products have been developed to help your child settle down and improve sleep quality. The Weighted Products are the perfect choice for when your child is ready to leave the baby hammock but still needs something to help them settle down.

The Weighted Sleeping Bag has been designed to help your child settle down, rest and sleep. Use it to create a peaceful moment before the midday nap, when tucking your child in or during sleep.

The Weighted Vest has been designed to help your child's body settle down. Use it after an active day, when relaxing together, during that restless hour before dinner, when tucking your child in or during sleep. 

Moonboon's weighted blanket has been specially designed for babies and children aged 12 months to 7 years.

The weighted blanket has been developed to help the child settle down after an active day at the daycare centre or at bedtime, and they can produce a hug-like sensation.

Moonboon's weighted blanket draws inspiration from the Deep Touch Pressure (DTP) therapy method, and they are designed to stimulate the proprioceptive sense. The Weighted Sleeping Bag stimulates the whole body, while the Weighted Vest only stimulates the upper body, allowing the child full freedom of movement.

The weight is evenly distributed on the body, which produces the best effect and can help the child's body settle down. 

  • Moonboon's Weighted Vest and Weighted Sleeping Bag are designed for safety, comfort and ease of use. The products are in compliance with EU standard: EN ISO 11092:2014 and are thoroughly tested against this standard. They are also certified with the OCS Blended Standard. This is your guarantee that the products are safe to use and suitable for babies and children. 

  • The design of the weighted products ensures that the product does not ride up and that the child cannot kick it up over their head or face, so there is no risk of suffocation. 

  • The Weighted Products have holes for the arms and are designed to stay in place. The holes are of a suitable size, which is not big enough for the elbow to squeeze through nor small enough to make it difficult to take the product on and off.

The Weighted Products are designed to support the child to sleep on their back, in accordance with the recommendations of the Danish Health Authority. The Weighted Product's increased weight can make it harder for the child to adjust their sleeping position on their own.

For safety reasons and to prevent cot death, the Weighted Products may only be used by children 8 months and older. A thumb rule is that the children should be able to turn on their own since they must be able to adjust their sleeping position and change the placement of their heads by themselves when sleeping.

We recommend always using the Weighted Products in accordance with the recommendations and instructions so as to establish the best and safest environment for your child.  

If your baby can turn without help, the Weighted Products will naturally follow the body without being cumbersome.  

The Weighted Products have a built-in Secure Cell System, which divides the small glass beads into small compartments, ensuring an even distribution of the weight across the body. The polyester fibre filling and small glass beads are safely contained in small compartments together with interlock material on the outside and single jersey on the inside of the lining. 

The Weighted Products are designed to help your child feel safe and calm. You can therefore easily use the Weighted Products in your stroller or pram.

Use the Weighted Vest after an active day, in the pram when out for a walk, when relaxing together, during that restless hour before dinner, when you are tucking in your child or during sleep.

Use the Weighted Sleeping Bag in the stroller when out for a walk, in the pram before the midday nap, when tucking in your child at bedtime or during sleep.

No. The Weighted Products are not designed to be used with the baby hammock. However, they are developed to help the child find the same sense of calmness as with the baby hammock with motor.

Therefore, it makes sense to switch to the Weighted Products when your child is ready to move on from the baby hammock but still needs something to help them settle down. 

The short answer is that you must choose the product that best suits your child based on the description below. All three products are safe to use and are designed to help your baby sleep more and sleep better.
 
Use the Weighted Blanket from 12 months. It can be used in the cot or the bed during snuggling or during sleep. Or on the sofa when the child begins to wind down before bedtime. The Weighted Blanket is for children who can self-regulate and adjust the amount of blanket that they are sleeping under.
 
Use the Weighted Sleeping Bag when the child is at least 9 kg. The Weighted Sleeping Bag can be used in the pram, before a nap, while cuddling at bedtime or during sleep. The Weighted Sleeping Bag is for children who need weight on their whole body during the entire sleep cycle.
 
Use the Weighted Vest when the child is at least 9 kg. The Weighted Vest can be used after an active day, when you want to help your child find their calm, or as part of the midday nap routine. The Weighted Vest is designed for children who need weight on their body before bedtime, as the vest provides full mobility.
 
The Weighted Blanket differs from the other two weighted products by age group and its design. The Weighted Blanket can be used from when the child is at least 12 months and until it is 7 years old. Use the Weighted Vest and Weighted Sleeping Bag from when the child is 8 months old and weighs 9 kg, until the child is too big for the product.

The Weighted Products are designed to create calm during a busy day or before and during sleep. 

The Weighted Products have holes for the arms and are designed to stay in place. The holes are of a suitable size, which is not big enough for the elbow to squeeze through nor small enough to make it difficult to take the product on and off.

Research suggests that weighted products start to work after 15 to 20 minutes. But children are different and react differently. For this reason, we recommend some trial and error to figure out how the Weighted Products work best for your child. 

After about 30 minutes, the nervous system may get used to the weight and the effect will slowly wear off. Some sleep experts recommend that you use the Weighted Product for 20-30 minutes at a time, while others recommend that the child sleep with it at night so as not to wake them up.  

Both the Weighted Vest and the Weighted Sleeping Bag are designed to use during sleep. If you want to remove the Weighted Product and use it again to extend the effect, we recommend that you give the nervous system time to "reset" before use. This takes between 20 and 40 minutes.

NOTE! The Weighted Product's increased weight can make it harder for the child to adjust their sleeping position on their own. For safety reasons and to prevent cot death, the Weighted Products may only be used by children 8 months and older. A thumb rule is that the children should be able to turn on their own since they must be able to adjust their sleeping position and change the placement of their heads by themselves when sleeping.

We recommend always using the Weighted Products in accordance with the recommendations and instructions so as to establish the best and safest environment for your child.
