Si vous avez un bébé qui refuse de dormir pendant la journée, il peut sembler que vous ne prenez jamais vraiment de pause. Être « en alerte » tout le temps sans aucun repos diurne est épuisant, tant physiquement que mentalement.
Vous pouvez vous surprendre à regarder avec envie d’autres parents qui déposent doucement leur bébé calme et somnolent dans la poussette, font une courte promenade, puis profitent de deux à trois heures de sieste ininterrompue pendant que leur bébé dort paisiblement.
La bonne nouvelle, c’est qu’il existe des solutions. Il est possible d’aider votre bébé à faire des siestes plus longues pendant la journée, pour que vous puissiez enfin vous reposer, reprendre des forces, ou même profiter d’un café sans craindre que votre bébé se réveille dès que la poussette s’arrête.
Comment prolonger les siestes de votre bébé pendant la journée ?
Il existe plusieurs méthodes éprouvées pour aider les bébés à faire des siestes plus longues pendant la journée, surtout dans la poussette.
Mouvement
Beaucoup de bébés ont besoin d’un mouvement doux et continu pour rester endormis à travers toutes les phases du sommeil. Plutôt que de marcher sans fin avec la poussette, certains parents choisissent un moteur pour poussette qui crée un mouvement régulier même lorsque la poussette est à l’arrêt. Cela peut aider votre bébé à rester endormi sans être dérangé entre les cycles de sommeil.
Emmaillotage
La plupart des bébés dorment mieux quand ils se sentent bien enveloppés et en sécurité. L’emmaillotage aide à réduire les mouvements brusques et crée un sentiment de protection. Une chancelière ou un sac de couchage rembourré peut bien fonctionner, surtout en hiver, mais pendant les saisons plus chaudes, cela peut vite devenir trop chaud.
Un sac de couchage lesté peut être utilisé toute l’année dans la poussette. Il enveloppe doucement votre bébé et procure le même effet apaisant qu’une couverture lestée, aidant beaucoup de bébés à dormir plus profondément et plus longtemps. Des ouvertures pour les harnais de poussette le rendent sûr à utiliser, et en hiver vous pouvez simplement ajouter une chancelière comme couche extérieure.
De nombreux parents ayant essayé un sac de couchage lesté dans la poussette rapportent des améliorations notables. Les bébés qui se réveillaient auparavant après 20 à 45 minutes commencent souvent à dormir une heure et demie à trois heures, se réveillant reposés et contents.
Témoignages réels de parents
Ida Dybdahl Mathiesen
« Nous sommes vraiment ravis du sac de couchage lesté. Notre fille n’a jamais été une bonne dormeuse, et à quatre mois elle se réveillait toutes les 45 minutes et ne faisait la sieste que si je continuais à marcher avec la poussette. Après trois semaines épuisantes, nous avons commandé le sac de couchage. Deux jours plus tard, elle dormait trois à quatre heures d’affilée pendant la journée. Je ne peux que le recommander — un vrai bon investissement. »
Line Lerche
« Nous n’utilisons le sac de couchage que depuis une semaine, et je suis déjà convaincue. Notre fils de cinq mois avait toujours du mal à s’endormir et ne dormait jamais plus de 45 à 90 minutes dans la poussette. Après seulement quelques jours, il a dormi trois heures complètes pendant une sieste de jour. Je suis fan. »
Louise Thye Munksgaard
« Le sac de couchage lesté a fait des merveilles pour notre fille de dix mois. Elle ne faisait jamais de longues siestes avant. Maintenant, elle fait deux siestes par jour, chacune durant une heure et demie à deux heures. »
Rikke Christensen
« Après seulement trois jours avec le sac de couchage lesté, mon fils dort enfin plus de 20 minutes pendant la journée. Le coucher ne prend plus que dix minutes et il ne pleure pas. Je le recommande à tous les parents dont le bébé ne fait pas de sieste. »
Maria Rose
« Ce sac de couchage lesté est incroyable. Valdemar y dort profondément et paisiblement. Il a maintenant sept semaines, et nous avons commencé à l’utiliser quand il avait trois semaines parce que j’étais désespérée de trouver quelque chose pour l’aider à mieux dormir pendant la journée. Je l’utilise à l’intérieur de la chancelière de la poussette, et il dort trois à quatre heures à chaque fois — sans que je doive marcher avec la poussette. Merci d’avoir créé un produit aussi merveilleux. Il sauvera le sommeil de nombreux bébés et l’énergie de nombreuses mamans. »
En résumé
Les siestes courtes pendant la journée sont très courantes, mais elles ne doivent pas être une fatalité. Avec la bonne combinaison de mouvement, de confort et de sentiment de sécurité, beaucoup de bébés apprennent à faire des siestes plus longues et plus profondes. Ce repos supplémentaire profite non seulement à votre bébé, mais aussi à vous.
Let customers speak for us
Our son woke Up very often in the middle of the night and struggled to calm down. The weighted back helps him to sleep through the night and we ordered a second one.
I'm a big fan of sleepsacks, both with and without weight. The swaddle is clearly well thought out. It's very intuitive how the arms should be placed. The weight has a smart shape and filling. It even has small holes along the sides to ensure your baby doesn't get overheated. The material is nice quality and the zipper seems like it will live out the lifetime of the product. Love it.
Wir sind super zufrieden. Meine Tochter(9monate) konnte nie auf dem Rücken schlafen weil sie immer durch ihre eigenen Bewegungen wach wurde. Seit dem ersten Tag der Nutzung kann sie jetzt auf dem Rücken schlafen, schläft viel schneller ein und wacht nicht mehr so oft in der Nacht auf wie davor. Ich fände es super wenn der Ausschnitt am Nacken tiefer wäre dann könnte man den schlafsack auch "falschrum" anziehen und das Gewicht auf dem Rücken haben sodass das Baby auch auf dem Bauch schlafen kann aber sonst top!!!
Wir haben den Schlafsack mit und ohne Beine und jetzt zuletzt auch die Weste gekauft.
Den Schlafsack haben wir gekauft, weil unser Baby damals immer schon um fünf Uhr morgens wach wurde, und nicht mehr weiter schlafen wollte. Nachdem sie mit dem Schlafsack geschlafen hatte, hat sie bis sieben Uhr morgens geschlafen und das einmal nachts Stillen hat sie auch aufgegeben und durchgeschlafen!!!
Seit her verwenden wir die Schlafsäcke vor allem wegen des frühen Aufwachens! Wir haben Phasen wo wir ihn nicht brauchen und Phasen, wo sie wieder damit schläft!
Einfach Top diese Schlafsäcke!
Für den Sommer schön dünn vom Stoff!
Im Winter haben wir in den Babyzeiten einen Wintersack drüber gezogen!
Und jetzt schläft sie einfach mit Decke drüber.
Vielen Dank für diese tollen Produkte.
Wir nennen unseren Schlafsack Schildkröte, weil es aussieht, als hätte sie einen Krötenpanzer an.
Ausprobieren und lieben!!!
Made it possible to put the baby down in the baby nest! Before baby could just sleep on me.
We had extreme problems with our 3rd child's sleep. After 3 months, we were at our wit's end and tried just about everything. He never slept for more than 45 minutes at a time and not by himself. It improved with the weighted sleeping swaddle. Now he is 5 months old and sleeps well for several hours.
Our daughter is 17 months old and she has a regular wake-up schedule around 9 PM, 11 PM, 2 AM, 4 AM, and 5:30 AM, usually staying awake between 5:30 AM and 6:30 AM.
She frequently wakes up during the night, feeling upset, tossing and turning, and wanting to breastfeed. She gets upset if she doesn't get to breastfeed and prefers to sleep on us while we have to stand up and rock her back to sleep. She usually sleeps in my bed.
Nights have been challenging, and we were getting desperate. However, last night was our first experience with the weighted sleeping bag... 😱 😱
She woke up around 12 AM for the first time, climbed on me, and quickly fell back asleep. She woke up a few times after that but managed to soothe herself back to sleep. At 5 AM, I had to stand up and rock her, but she quickly fell back asleep. At 6:10 AM, there was a joyful wake-up call from our 1.5-year-old. She slept much more soundly and peacefully, and she managed to fall back asleep on her own, which she had never done before.
We noticed a significant improvement just on the first night. In fact, I don't feel utterly exhausted this morning and don't have that pressing need to take a nap during the day, which I usually do. I'm feeling enthusiastic about the upcoming nights and hoping to get a full night's sleep without interruptions, so I can regain some normalcy in my life. I can't imagine what we would have done if we hadn't found this weighted sleeping bag.
I just want to say... thank you!! ❤
About 4 months ago, we entered a nightmare period. Our little boy, who had been sleeping through the night and was generally happy, suddenly started waking up multiple times during the night, inconsolable. Initially, we attributed it to a cold, but even after he recovered, the night disturbances continued. About 2 months later, he was diagnosed with asthma, which seemed like a valid reason for his nighttime awakenings. However, despite responding well to asthma medication and having no issues during the daytime, the nights remained a pure ordeal. He would wake up incredibly anxious and screaming, and we often found ourselves staying up for hours trying to soothe him back to sleep. We tried everything and came across something called 'Night Terrors,' which seemed to describe his symptoms perfectly – an anxious nightmare from which he couldn't wake up, likely triggered by his illness.
I am a trained occupational therapist, and I understand the importance of sensory stimuli for many individuals. So, we began researching products related to weighted blankets/bags. That's when we discovered this sleeping bag.
We received it a week ago, and now, he puts it on when he has his nighttime bottle, creating a positive association. And I must say, it's been a tremendous success. He has slept for a full 11 hours every night for the past 7 nights. Our boy is now extremely happy and well-rested, and so are his parents
Our son used to wake up in the middle of the night and struggle to fall back asleep, sometimes staying awake for 2-3 hours. When we read a lot about weighted pajamas, we decided to give them a try. We noticed results almost immediately. He started falling asleep faster and sleeping more peacefully. Instead of having 2-4 wakeful nights a week, it reduced to just one. Now that he has moved in with his big sister, he sleeps through the entire night, and we still use the weighted pajamas because we're afraid to try without them.
We purchased the Baby Deepsleep for our son a couple of months ago. It worked very well in terms of his daytime naps, but it was challenging to determine if it helped at night since our son continued to wake up as frequently as before. Nevertheless, it's a nice product, and I can certainly recommend it to everyone I know to give it a try
When my daughter turned 4 months old, her sleep gradually started to deteriorate. By the time she was 7-8 months old, it had become so bad that going to bed seemed pointless. She would wake up crying 1-2 times every hour throughout the night, and sometimes even more frequently during the early hours of the night. It was absolute torture.
I was aware of weighted swaddle but had hesitated due to the price. However, after trying everything else without success, it was our last option. We've used it for the past 4 nights, and the results have been remarkable. For the first 2 nights, she slept for 7-8 hours straight, and for the last 2 nights, she slept for a whopping 10 hours (!!) before waking up for a bottle. It's been incredible, and it has truly been my salvation. I should have bought it several months ago. I can't recommend a weighted bag enough!
Our girl had colic for the first 2 months, and all her sleep was on us parents... 🤯 We couldn't get her to sleep on her own under any circumstances. The first few nights with the weighted swaddle were a bit challenging as it didn't wrap as tightly as she was used to. But then, something miraculous happened! We woke up one morning and were utterly amazed because she had slept for 11 hours straight. Initially, we thought it might be a one-time occurrence, but to our delight, she has been doing the same thing every night since! 🤩 It's been a month now, and we use the weighted swaddle every time she needs to sleep, whether it's in the sling, the stroller, or the crib. We're even considering getting an extra one because we can't do without it when it's being washed. 😅🙈 The weighted swaddle has truly been invaluable to us, and we wholeheartedly recommend it!
Highly recommended if you have a child who refuses to sleep. My daughter, who was then 5 months old, simply wouldn't sleep. But once she got the weighted sleeping swaddle, she started sleeping right away. I could even stop using the stroller, and she would continue sleeping.
She went from only sleeping for 20 minutes while being held to using the weighted sleeping swaddle, and on the first day, she slept for 40 minutes in her stroller. The naps only got longer from there. Now, she's a happy and well-rested child! 🤩😍
We purchased a weighted bag for our 13-month-old daughter, who hasn't had significant sleep issues. She used to wake up 3 times at night for breastfeeding. After using the weighted bag for 14 days, we've seen a noticeable improvement. She has at least halved the number of awakenings where she needs assistance to fall back asleep 🤪.
We also immediately noticed a slower respiratory rate, with deeper breaths.
We're very pleased with the customer service and the fast delivery to Norway.
Our baby becomes noticeably calmer as soon as we put on the sleeping bag.
I was recommended one for babies aged 8 months and older, with a minimum weight of 10 kg. However, it turned out to be too big for our child, so I am selling mine to buy a smaller one.
