I have distinct memories of the unswaddling process with both of my kids…and they aren’t fond ones. It seems that just when babies start to get the hang of sleeping for longer stretches of time, they start learning to roll, you’re forced to unswaddle, and the process begins again. At least, that was the case for me.
With my first, we did the “one arm out” method, which was ultimately effective but took a while. With the second, we used a transitional sleep suit, which is basically the parenting version of kicking the can down the road. I wish I had known about Dreamland’s Weighted Sleep Sack ($98) sooner – it would have been the ticket to good sleep, quickly.
Designed To Help Baby Feel Calmer, And Sleep Better
Even though it’s tough when you’re in the thick of it, getting baby to sleep well at naptime – or, the holy grail…through the night – doesn’t have to be that hard. You just need a few tricks up your sleeve. One is to make sure your baby feels safe and comforted. While easier said than done, Dreamland’s CoverCalm® technology uses evenly distributed weight from your baby’s shoulders to toes to “naturally reduce stress and give your baby the feeling of security and comfort – just like a hug.”

The Perfect Size For Every Baby
One of my biggest pet peeves with regular sleep sacks is the lack of sizing options. The reality is you want the sack to be small enough to provide a nice cocoon but large enough so your child isn’t restricted. I love that these sleep sacks come in four different sizes to accommodate babies from 8-25+ pounds, and those up to 40 inches in length (about three years old). If you’re not sure which is best, you can use Dreamland’s handy size finder tool to figure it out before you buy.
Comfort That Grows With Your Child
While the sleep sack is easily Dreamland’s most notable product, the brand also offers options for smaller babies and older toddlers with similarly cozy Swaddles ($98) and Weighted Toddler Blankets ($109). These products are equally soft and made with the same tagless design, ensuring maximum comfort for discriminating littles.
My three-year-old loves the weighted blanket – she describes it as “a hug when mom isn’t here” – and I swear the gentle weight and soothing satin edge helps her sleep! (It’s especially great for older toddlers who are learning how to regulate emotions and calm down on their own!)

Cozy Is Great, Secure Is Key!
Every parent wants their kid to sleep well, and that’s exactly what Tara Williams, a mom of four, wanted when she came up with the genius idea for this product. Her youngest son was 6 months old and still struggling to sleep. One night, she put a gently weighted blanket on him, and he immediately calmed down. I love that she turned that moment into an amazing product that she developed in partnership with pediatricians, NICU nurses, and certified sleep experts. She also prioritized using 100% natural soft cotton that’s Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex, meaning the products are free from potentially harmful substances, making this mom feel really good about using them! And that’s not all. The International Hip Dysplasia Institute designated the swaddle as a hip-healthy product.
It’s safe to say I’m a huge Dreamland fan and am so excited for my kids to use their products for years to come (I would be remiss if I didn’t use this opportunity to ask for adult size, too, pretty please). Check out Dreamland’s full lineup here.
