Comments on: A weight off my mind – sweet dreams http://whittereronautism.com/2009/04/a-weight-off-my-mind-sweet-dreams/ Coffee breaks in Cyberspace For when you want something short and sweet, but light on saccharin [translation = Aspartame] Mon, 30 Jan 2012 23:56:07 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3 By: kyla http://whittereronautism.com/2009/04/a-weight-off-my-mind-sweet-dreams/comment-page-1/#comment-75559 kyla Sun, 28 Jun 2009 05:03:56 +0000 http://whittereronautism.com/?p=1418#comment-75559 We bought a weighted blanket from DreamCatcher Weighted Blankets. It was the very best thing we could have done and compared to money spent on medications it is very cheap. I don't know if websites are allowed here but if you google their name you will find them. It is not filled with rice and can machine washed and dried nicely many times. The company was started by the parents of a special needs child who needed a weighted blanket to help him sleep.

My oldest has been pestering me for one of those infomercial "blankets with sleeves" -- if that tells you anything. ;) Hope you find one that is satisfactory!

I sneak in after he has fallen asleep and remove 50 or so from his head!
